| EBU minibridge teaching hands |
| The EBU has produced these hands for both adult and young learners. There are 40 No Trump and 40 Trump hands arranged in sets of 4 with different 'themes'. We are able to deal these hands on our computer and supply them to our volunteers- a really good labour saving device.

| Cross ruffing -minibridge |
|
| E-W have 27 points, N-S have 13 points.
E-W choose Game in Hearts.
They need 10 tricks, so can only lose 3 tricks.
They use their trumps separately. E ruffs clubs and W ruffs spades.
This is one of the few times when you do not take trumps out.
You need them all yourself.
