Free Call Bridge is a trick-taking card game devised in the United States in the 1930s. It can be played as either a partnership or solo"cutthroat" game. The object is to take at least the number of tricks (also known as "books") that were bid before play of the hand began. Free Call Bridge is a descendant of the Whist family of card games, which also includes Bridge, Hearts, and Oh Hell. Its major difference as compared to other Whist variants is that, instead of trump being decided by the highest bidder or at random, the Spade suit is always trumps, hence the name.
Free Call Bridge is a game that is both enjoyable and challenging since it requires one to look for strategies and ways in order to win. This is considered one of the most challenging card games of all time and this is mainly because it is usually played with a partner and one does not know the cards that the partner is holding. This makes it extremely difficult to win more so if there is no connection between the two and if one of them does not have the tips for playing spades. There is the individual spade game and cut throat that is played by a single player and this is perfect for those who do not want partners.
