What is the lowest suit in bridge?
Clubs. The rank order of suits from lowest to highest is Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades. This means that after 1 Club is bid, it is possible for 1 of any of the other suits to be bid. But if, say, 1 Heart is bid it is only possible to bid 1 Spade, 2 Clubs, 2 Diamonds, or some higher bid.
What is diamonds in bridge?
The diamond suit is a 'minor' suit. Clubs is also a 'minor' suit. Spades and hearts are the 'Major' suits. They are called that because major suits give more points in the scoring than minor suits. It only takes a four-bid to make 'game' in hearts or spades, but you must bid five diamonds or clubs to make 'game'.

When you double a bridge contract that is not game does it automatically double the contract into game?
Only two hearts or two spades will be doubled into 'game'. The double just doubles the contract, it does not automatically put it into 'game'. If the bid was 'one', then it is doubled into 'two'. If the bid was for 'two' it would double into 'four'. That is 'game' for hearts or spades. Four diamonds or four clubs would not be 'game'. Doubling a two heart or two spade bid should be avoided unless you are very sure of defeating your opponents. If they make the two tricks, you have given them an easy 'game'.

What is shoot the moon in pinochle?
----------------------- Shoot the Moon The Winner of the bid may at his/her option declare that they intend to "Shoot the Moon". This declaration must be made after all melds have been counted and BEFORE the first card of the hand is led during play. Making this declaration means the Bid Winner intends to take ALL the Tricks. If he/she succeeds, a bonus of 25 points is awarded the team at the conclusion of the hand. If he/she fails to take all the Tricks, SET is declared. Their team loses all points accumulated in the hand and deduct their bid plus 25 points from the score they held at the beginning of the hand.
What is the concept of weak twos in the card game Bridge?
The weak two bid is a preemptive bid, a trouble maker. You use it to make it difficult for your opponents to reach a satisfactory bid. You may go down but it's worth it. When you are not strong enough to open the bidding but you have a six card suit, you can consider opening with a bid of two in that suit. Many players do it with 5 to 11 high card points with at least two face cards in the long suit. Most of the points should be in the long suit. You can also make a 'weak two' overcall when the opponents open the bidding. 'Weak Two' bids are only for spades, hearts and diamonds. When you and your partner agree to play 'Weak Twos' it is understood that the 'Strong Two Club' opening bid is used to show a strong hand.
