Bridge \Bridge\, n.
   A card game resembling whist.

   Note: The trump, if any, is determined by the dealer or his
         partner, the value of each trick taken over six being:
         for ``no trumps'' 12, hearts 8, diamonds 6, clubs 4,
         spades 2. The opponents of the dealer can, after the
         trump is declared, double the value of the tricks, in
         which case the dealer or his partner can redouble, and
         so on. The dealer plays his partner's hand as a dummy.
         The side which first reaches or exceeds 30 points
         scored for tricks wins a game; the side which first
         wins two games wins a rubber. The total score for any
         side is the sum of the points scored for tricks, for
         rubbers (each of which counts 100), for honors (which
         follow a special schedule of value), and for slam,
         little slam, and chicane.
