Let's delete the myths and get you to the fun part.

10 Common Myths (that are wrong)

Quick reality checks you can share with anyone who thinks bridge is "not for them."

10 Common Myths About Bridge
Get the Myth-Buster Starter Kit

1) "It's only for old people." False. It's for geniuses of all ages.
2) "You need to be a math wizard." Logic matters more than math.
3) "It takes forever to learn." Play in a day, master in a lifetime.
4) "It's too expensive." Cheaper than a movie.
5) "You need a permanent partner." Clubs have partnership desks.
6) "It's just luck." Skill always beats luck in the long run.
7) "You can't talk." The bidding is the conversation.
8) "Online bridge isn't real." It's faster and just as fierce.
9) "It's boring." Tell that to my adrenaline.
10) "I'm not smart enough." If you play Hearts, you can play bridge.
