▲ 3 r/bridge
I built a site for a bridge variant my classmates used to play — every hand is winnable, not just the strong ones
Hey r/bridge,
Growing up, my friends and I played a house-rule version of bridge we called "Casual Bridge" The big twist: instead of the standard 5 contracts (♣ ♦ ♥ ♠ NT), there are 12 different strains — each with its own card-ranking rules.
One example: a strain called Small, where low cards win tricks. A hand full of 2s and 3s — normally a disaster — becomes exactly what you want to bid on.
The result: every deal has something to play for. You're not stuck defending all game just because you drew weak cards.
I built a browser version of it. Sign in with Google, no install needed.
Still beta — happy to answer questions about the strains if standard contract bridge is your background.
