Everyone Can Play Bridge! - with Jack Stocken

Here is a challenge even for those who don't know how to play bridge (yet). With only these three prompts, see how well you can play this bridge hand:

1: We'll play the hands for both North and South and we're trying to win more tricks than the other players.
2: To win a trick, we must play the highest card of the suit that was lead.
3: Our challenge: We have some cards we know will can win tricks. Do we want to play them earlier or later?

Bridge players, do you think this is sufficient for someone who doesn't know how to play bridge to still enjoy this 1NT hand? In an upcoming video, Jack will present a challenge hand that will introduce the trump suit in bridge.

On the spade return I would have played the Ace so the west was less likely to find the switch to clubs.

West's opening lead should be the 7 of Spades (4th highest) not the 3 of Spades. Otherwise good hand.
