OSHER 613 - Bridge

Bridge is a complex card game that can bring out a competitive spirit in its enthusiasts. The most successful players are not necessarily those who accumulate the most factual knowledge about the game but rather those who reason well with the information they have. This course is designed to expose beginners to the complexities of bridge and stimulate experienced players to learn more about its fundamentals. This course will focus on bidding. There will be an interactive discussion, handouts, and students will play illustrative hands. The classroom will be available for those wishing to stay after class to continue playing. If member interest warrants, follow-up courses on declarer play and defense can be scheduled in future terms.
