Master the two major forms of bridge with clear, practical guidance for beginners and players alike. This edition explains straight bridge and the popular auction style, showing how each side scores toward game, how to bid, and how the dummy hand works.

From setup to play, you’ll find practical details on dealing, cutting, scoring, and common mistakes. It also covers tricky topics like cheating, good play, and the strategic ideas behind bid and play, with examples and explanations grounded in traditional rules.

Two main variants: straight (dealer or partner makes trump) and auction bridge (trump is bid for).

Rules, scoring, and common terms for four players, including dealing, bidding, and declarer play.

Advice on practical play, including good-bid decisions, bidding etiquette, and standard conventions.

Illustrative guidance on penalties, partnerships, and game strategy to improve results at the table.

Ideal for readers seeking a thorough, practical reference to bridge as it was taught and played in classic rule sets.

FOSTER'S COMPLETE HOYLE BRIDGE, There are two principal varieties of this game; straight bridge, in which the dealer or his partner must make the trump, their opponents having nothing to say about it except to double the value of the tricks. Auction bridge, in which the privilege of making the trump is bid for, the highest bidder playing the hand with his partner as dummy, regardless of the position of the deal, and his side being the only one that can score toward game, the adversaries scoring nothing but penalties in the honour column if they defeat the contract.
