The Wednesday Game

July 5th

What is the

Wednesday Game?

On the first Wednesday of each month we send out a set of computer-dealt hands to Clubs around the country. After their Wednesday Game, players visit this site for the week’s Hand Analyses, Bidding Quizzes and Play Problems for the hands they have just played. There's nothing "tricky" about the hands, they are not doctored in any way, there's no attempt to make them more "interesting", they're all just as the computer dealt them.

Also provided in this site is a wealth of information in BridgeOpedia, and Wednesday Game Archives going back to early 2006.
