Card Games

• Bridge uses a deck of cards. Each player is dealt 13 cards. The players then bid or pass. Ivan Lee (M69) is a Life time Platinum Bridge Expert.
• Some games use two decks.
• A few games (e.g ရှိုး၊ တချပ်မှောက်) may use a subset. Mg Mar Ga (M72) has written some posts about the RIT Card Players.
