Learn bridge the way tournament players actually play it.
Bridge is the chess of card games, played in pairs, which is where it gets interesting. Tracey Bauer is a two-time international champion, and she teaches it to people with day jobs.

I'm Tracey. I learned this game in my 30s.
I came to bridge from Spades, in my 30s, and only because I married into it. The first time I sat down I got it. There was far more going on than it looked like, and the partnership was the point. I'm a two-time World Bridge Federation (WBF) Women's Spring Festival Champion (2020 and 2022) and a Lifetime Platinum Member. I built Bridge Unleashed because I wanted the game taught the way tournament players play it, in plain English, without the club politics. If you've ever been told you ask too many questions, you'll be fine here.
