Call bridge is a trick-taking card game popular in south Asian countries like Bangladesh, India, Srilanka, and Nepal. It is an addictive and popular card game of tricks, trumps, and bidding. It is very similar to the Spades Card Game. This game is played by four players, using a standard 52-card pack.
The cards of each suit rank from high to low A-K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2.
Spades are permanent trumps, each card of the spade suit is considered a trump card which is why any card of the spade suit can beat any card of another suit.
Deal and play of this game are counter-clockwise. To succeed in the Call bridge card game, a player must win the number of tricks called or more tricks than the call. If a player wins the targeted tricks, the targeted numbers of his call are added to his cumulative score. Otherwise, the numbers are subtracted.
Start the game by dealing 13 cards to each player. Any player can start the first deal. Each player will take turns making a deal, with each player calling a number from 2 to 8. This part is called the bidding process. These numbers represent the tricks or call that a player has to undertake.
This continues until all the tricks are taken or won by players.
A final game score or target is assigned to all players. The player who reaches the targeted number of scores first wins the game at the end.
