Learn MiniBridge by playing with robots or friends. Choose one of five live tables, practise declarer play, and review each hand to prepare for youth bridge competitions.
Choose an open table to play. Once a board starts, enter the table to watch all four hands.
Table 1: basic beginner robots. Table 2: the MIT bridge-engine strategy adapted for beginner-to-intermediate practice. Tables 3–4: DDS robots for more challenging play.
Table 2 follows simple bridge tactics using only its playing hand and the public trick: second hand low, third hand high when needed, and fourth hand winning economically. Based on Kingston Duffie's bridge-engine, adapted to run directly on this website.

Prepare for the WBF U14 MiniBridge Championships
The next WBF Under 14 (Mini)Bridge Championship takes place on — 8:00 a.m. in Toronto. Registration opens on .
Use these tables to practise counting points, choosing contracts and planning the play. The championship itself is held on RealBridge and organized by the World Bridge Federation.
Start with points, contract choice and following suit. The official WBF Learn Minibridge guide explains the tournament rules. Table 5 is a separate declarer training mode that places you in the declaring seat.
What is MiniBridge?
MiniBridge (also written Mini Bridge) is a beginner version of bridge for four players in two partnerships. Players count high-card points and choose a contract without a bidding auction, then practise taking tricks.
How do I count high-card points?
Count 4 points for each ace, 3 for each king, 2 for each queen and 1 for each jack. Number cards have no high-card points. A full deck contains 40 high-card points.
How can I practise against robots?
Choose Table 1 for basic robots, Table 2 for the MIT bridge-engine strategy adapted for beginner-to-intermediate practice, Tables 3–4 for DDS robot play, or Table 5 for dedicated declarer training.
Can four people play together?
Yes. Choose a table from Tables 1–4, copy its invite link, and send it to the other three players. Each person selects an open seat, and the table starts a shared five-second countdown when all four seats are occupied.
How is declarer chosen in WBF MiniBridge?
At Tables 1–4, the partnership with more high-card points declares, and its player with the most points chooses the contract after seeing Dummy's suit distribution. At Table 5, every new board uses DDS optimal analysis to select the declaring partnership and declarer, then moves the human to that seat.
When can I see Dummy, and must I follow suit?
Dummy's suit lengths are shown before the contract is chosen. Dummy's cards are revealed after the opening lead, and declarer plays both hands. Each hand must follow the suit led when it has a card in that suit.
Can I replay a completed board?
Yes. Download the PBN replay from the completed-board screen, open Table 9, import the file, and use Previous card or Next card to review the full play.
What does the completed-board review show?
The review shows all four original hands, the tricks won by each seat, NS and EW scores, and the contract result. DDS analysis shows the tricks available with best play from all four hands and the par contracts.
Is this practice site the WBF championship platform?
Bridge the Future Tutoring provides independent MiniBridge practice. The WBF U14 championship is played on RealBridge; official registration and tournament access are provided by the World Bridge Federation.
