Talk:Singaporean bridge

Question on rules
The version I play involves 1 point for 5 cards in a particular suit (as written), and an additional point per extra card in the same suit (ie, 2 pts for 6, 3 pts for 7). Is this true in other parts of Singapore? Also, a washable hand is 3 or less points, but the player has the choice of whether he wants to wash his hand or not (most likely he will, though). It is not compulsory to wash. 08:36, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


 * frankly since we play a rather funny mutation of the game (i.e. contract bridge) the rules are inconsistent in many areas. Chensiyuan 09:26, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

"The 'winner' is simply determined by which the player and its partner has won the most hands against the other pair of players." I thought it was that the number of tricks/sets required to win is (6 + x) (where x is the number of the winning bid) for the bid winner and partner, and (8 - x) for the other team? So if the winning bid was 1S, the win requirement is 7/7; if the winning bid was 4H, the win requirement would be 10/4? Lkc159 (talk) 10:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Konigsrufen and Other Sources for This Game
This game has a key feature from the game called Konigsrufen, played with a Tarot deck. In the Tarot game, the winner of the bidding calls for the holder of a particular King to be his partner. Since there is a "widow," a few cards that belong to no one, he or she may wind up without a partner.

It also resembles "Cutthroat Bridge," where you pick your partner after the bidding. "Reject" is a version of Cutthroat where your chosen partner can reject you and you play against all three. 65.79.173.135 (talk) 19:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)Will in New Haven65.79.173.135 (talk) 19:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
