RUBBERBRIDGE

Rubber bridge

Rubber bridge is a form of contract bridge, played with two teams of two players each. The teams play a best-of-three competition consisting of game s--in other words, the first team to total 100 points wins the "game", of which two or three are played. It is possible though uncommon to win the overall rubber by amassing high totals of points despite losing two games out of three. Rubber Bridge involves a high degree of skill but there is also a fair amount of luck involved in who gets the best cards.
