(Almost) Ready for a game!

I listened to this audiobook with very little previous knowledge of Bridge. I watched the game a few times, thought it looked both interesting and strategic, and always wanted to learn more. After listening to this audiobook, I feel like I am ready to sit down and play, and with their instructions I will have an understanding of the basics, the scoring and even some of the strategies involved.

Can’t wait to try out my new skills, and better understand the game now that I’ve listened to this book.
