The cards in a game of bridge are the very standard 52 card deck, no jokers. If you would like larger spots, there is a line of regular cards labelled: bridge deck, where the numbers and spots are a bit larger, but all else is the same, and even used in all other card games.
Contract bridge and rubber bridge are both variations of the card game bridge. The main difference lies in the scoring system used: in contract bridge, players bid on the number of tricks they expect to take, while in rubber bridge, the game is played to a certain number of points. Additionally, contract bridge is more commonly played in competitive settings and tournaments, while rubber bridge is often played casually among friends or family.

Chang's sharp mind enticed him to become an expert at the game of bridge; when in America, he was considered one of the country's 1,000 best contract bridge players.
Four players are necessary for a game of bridge, but after the bidding only three actually play. The players sitting opposite each other are partners. After the bidding, only one of the partners who won the contract gets to play. The other is the 'dummy' and lays his cards face up on the table. The 'declarer' plays his own hand and the dummy's hand, too.
