Bridge Group

Bridge is both a social and a competitive game. It is played by four players on two opposing or competing teams. Millions of people play bridge in clubs, at home or at local or international tournaments worldwide, making it one of the world's most popular card games!

WTIC’s BRIDGE INTEREST GROUP was established in 2012 and has members from different countries. Even though partnership and communications are required, we are able to play and have fun with one another because bridge is a game which defies language barriers! Everyone communicates through her bids, there is (supposedly!) no talking, and the “bidding sequence” says it all!

We meet every Wednesday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:30pm at the Institute of Diplomacy and International Affairs, MOFA. Mr. Sui, our coach, comes by about once a month to help improve our bidding and playing skills. This year, we worked on unifying our bidding system, so that no matter who our partner happens to be on any particular day, we are “speaking” the same (bridge) language!

So, on Wednesday afternoons, we train our brains to focus, use logic and reasoning, but along the way, we have also fostered many lasting friendships! We welcome all who are interested to come take a look!
