ACBL Intro to Bridge is a beginning bridge curriculum for in-person classes for new players. The design of the classes is based on ACBL Best Practices and provides students opportunities to collaborate, play, and learn by doing.

Based on Standard American, it starts with “52 cards in a deck.” Series 1 covers basic play and bidding with a focus on finding Game and the most commonly encountered hands. Series 2 introduces opening leads and frequently used conventions, culminating in a Pupil Game. 

This course equips students with a simple framework for playing Bridge. It is intended to be a starting point from which to build and refine their understanding of the game.
