Looking to Play Bridge
in Some Way
with Actual People?


We would like to help you find different options for playing with your partners.

Below is a list of current playing options for you and partner.

If you click on one of below links,
you will find a more detailed PDF
that helps you choose playing options.



Playing in a Live, In-Person Bridge Club
Honestly, this is NOT a good choice if you are a 1st year or 2nd year Beginner / Advanced Beginner player.   
Most current LIVE Bridge Clubs are not set up to help Beginners get acclimated.



Playing in Online BBO Games
You can choose from many different options.
We advise you choose a low level BBO Game if you are a 1st or 2nd year player.  



Playing in BBO's Casual Area with Friends
BBO offers an area where you can play with friends in a relaxed, non-competitive environment. 


Playing in your Living Room with Friends
Host friends for a fun, friendly activity.
