Whist is a game similar to bridge.

Whist, which was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, was the precursor to bridge. It morphed into auction bridge, which was replaced by contract bridge in 1925.

Spades and euchre also have similarities to bridge because they're played with trump suits and the players specify a number of tricks to be taken.

There are also some simplified versions of bridge that some find are a helpful step in learning to play "real" bridge. They include Mini-bridge, Honeymoon Bridge (a two-handed game), and a relatively new box game called aBridgeD.
