How many possible hands are there in the game of bridge?

Answer 1

Bridge is played with one standard deck of 52 cards. The jokers are discarded.

The cards are dealt out one at a time until the entire deck is used. Each player has 13 cards in their hand.

A second deck is also on the table so that the dealer's partner can shuffle the used deck while the dealer is dealing out the cards that were previously shuffled. In this way there is no time lost waiting for cards to be shuffled.

Answer 2

The game of bridge is played with a standard deck of 52 cards.

Jokers are not used.

Either a Poker deck or the narrower bridge deck can be used. Since all the cards are dealt out and a bridge hand consists of 13 cards, some players find the narrower cards easier to use.

Answer 3

Fifty-two cards. All 52 are dealt out to create 4 hands of 13 cards each. At "party bridge" two decks are usually used so one can be shuffled while the other is dealt. At duplicate bridge from 24 to 36 hands are dealt before the start of the contest (game). One deck is required for each deal and each deal is played multiple times.

Answer 4

There are 13 cards dealt to each of the four players.

That makes 52 cards in play, since the entire deck is dealt out.
