The auction and the contract
with Tina McVeigh
So, how do you win tricks? If all the cards are in the same suit, the highest card wins. But if there is a trump suit, even a low card from that suit can win the trick over card from the other suit.
So, how is it determined if there is a trump suit that will be more powerful than the other suits?
Watch the video to learn about the auction and the contract, then answer these questions.
How is the trump suit chosen?

Which suit would you like to be the trump suit?

Which suit would you like to be the trump suit?

Which suit would our opponents like to be the trump suit?
If spades are the trump suit, which card should you play to win this trick?

Any questions about this? Basically, the auction is a way for the highest bidder to choose which suit is more powerful than all the others!.
How are auctions in bridge similar or different from auctions in real life (as in, "Going, going, gone!")? Leave a comment below.

The suggested answer to the second question should be hearts and not spades, right?

Agree with SingingFish Hearts is the correct answer. Also in next question or the after there is two Ace of Diamonds in the hands shown, a bit sloppy.
