Learn to Play Bridge / Improve Your Game

Bridge is a fun, fascinating, intellectually stimulating game. It's also a great way to meet new people and develop lifelong friendships. Research has demonstrated that you can derive great mental and physical health benefits from playing bridge. Bridge's intricacies make it particularly appealing for those who want to sharpen acuity with mental gymnastics. A study in 2000 at the University of California, Berkeley, found strong evidence that an area in the brain used in playing bridge stimulates the immune system (http://www.aarp.org/health/brain-health/info-2015/bridge-for-brain-health.html).

Our bridge unit provides you with numerous resources, whether you are completely new to the game, you want to enhance your bridge knowledge, or you want to play more.
