Learn how to play bridge with Marla Lawson
Marla will present a series of one-hour interactive video lessons where you are encouraged to think through the card play and ask questions.
In the first class, Marla will start from the very beginning: the object of the game, how it is played, the concept of winning tricks. In the second lesson we’ll introduce the idea of the trump suit and how this facilitates taking tricks.
