Why play bridge?
Bridge has been described as an intense mental activity that combines the opportunity to socialize and unwind for people who appreciate using their mental wit to solve complex puzzles and mysteries.
The game is both fast-paced and mentally challenging. While each hand takes only 5 or 10 minutes to play, each hand presents a new mystery to be solved.

IMPs Vs Match Points
IMPs are International Match Points and are a way of scoring Team Games where 4 to 6 players compete against another team. All international competitions are scored this way and work so well that they have been adopted for all club and tournament scoring. IMP or team games are very much like rubber bridge as the total score (above and below the line) is what matters.
