Established players need to understand how to position the game to newcomers, upcoming players will increase awareness of their game, and newcomers will clear a lot of myths and misunderstandings about the game. The book is written in 52 chapters, symbolising a deck of cards, and each chapter conveys how the game can relate to some aspect of life, work, or daily activities. It is presented in an easy-to-read format in a conversational mode between four upcoming bridge players at a fictitious club called Sarangapani Club. Each chapter has five messages under the title “Honour Cards.” These messages were used for marketing bridge education classes seminars (Parisamvad) and practical learning (Spardha Shikshan) sessions. They emphasise that the game has a lot of variety, depth, and challenges and can also be used as a competitive sport or as a social gathering to make a network of friends. Each message connects some concept with bridge and is presented in two styles –essay format and comments by faculty members.
