Buddy Bridge is a two-person, trick taking card game utilizing a standard deck of cards and both jokers played in two phases: The Exchange and The Auction.

In The Exchange phase of play the players are dealt 12 cards and a joker. The players use these cards to build their future hand by winning tricks for the remaining available undealt cards. In the Auction phase the players will analyze and use their built hand to bid on their desired trump suit (or none) and the number of tricks they predict they will take (make a contract.)

Players who fulfil or defend against a contract receive both game and match points.
