In 1925, Harold S. Vanderbilt was on an ocean liner traveling from Los Angeles to Havana, Cuba. He devised contract bridge which was distinguished from earlier forms of bridge by its unique scoring system. Only the tricks that the declarer has bid - count towards the game. That means that it was important that you outbid the opponents but you must bid the full trick-taking potential of your hand.
