Playing Bridge Online

There are a number of website offering the ability to play bridge online such as Bridge Club Live, Funbridge, Trickster and Bridge Base Online.

All the websites allow you to join as a guest, and just watch (kibbitz) for a while.

Bridge Base Online (BBO) is probably one of the best. Tony Staw has made a short video about the Acol Players' group on BBO www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRWcZWpxBLk and there is lots more information about this on https://berwickbridgeclub.co.uk/bbo

You can also play in EBU games on Bridgebase Online (BBO) https://www.ebu.co.uk/node/3738

Finally, there is another article about playing bridge on your computer or mobile device on https://www.ebu.co.uk/online

What some of my students have said

"Learning bridge has transformed my social life! How I wish I had learned earlier! I now have a circle of friends who meet regularly to play (together with a glass or two of wine)"

"After my husband died last year, I am so glad I have now found this delightful but infuriating game, that gets me out of the house, and keeps my brain active"

"Tony has managed to make learning bridge really fun!"
