Most Bridge teachers use mini-bridge as pre-game before they start teaching bridge. Mini-bridge is a simplified form of the complex card game Contract Bridge designed to expose newcomers to declarer and defensive playing techniques without the burden of learning a detailed bridge bidding system. The game was first introduced in France and the Netherlands in the 1990s. Playing mini-bridge provides a superb environment for beginners to become comfortable with the etiquette and mechanics of contract bridge before they embark upon learning the auction phase of the full game. This allows new players to begin playing immediately and is enjoyable for an experienced bridge player as well as a beginner.
