In the card game of bridge, an unblock is called an unblock.

In Bridge, an ace is high and then comes a king, queen, jack, 10, 9, etc. There are four people at the table. Each 4-card trick consists of each person playing 1 card.

Normally, a person tries to take all the tricks he can in his own hand. However, there may be times that a defender realizes his partner has certain cards that will enable her to win more tricks if he throws away a high card.

So when the opponent plays an Ace, he plays his king. This means he will lose his king and not take a trick with it. However, he believes his partner has the queen, jack, and ten. So by getting rid of his king, he unblocks the suit for his partner. His partner takes three tricks.
