Minibridge – hand with trumps #2
Important info before you get started
Who is declarer?
The points around the table are:
North – 7
East – 7
South – 16
West – 10
Which makes East and West the defenders, North the dummy, and South (you!) the declarer.
Tricks and trumps?
According to the ‘minibridge trick table‘, with 23 points together you require 8 or more tricks to make your contract.
Your side, however, has a 9 card fit in diamonds, so it is beneficial for you to choose them as trumps.
Choosing a trump suit makes your trick target one higher, but it is worth it because having a trump suit will usually benefit you by more than one trick.
–
You are the declarer, needing 9 or more tricks with diamonds as trumps.
Good luck!
