Finish this sentence:
“I knew I was hooked on bridge the moment ___.”
Think showing up to duplicate bridge without a convention card is a disaster waiting to happen?
Not really.
The worst thing that’s likely to happen is that you’ll need to play a more basic system until you and your partner agree on your conventions.
That said, having a completed convention card makes partnerships smoother, communication clearer, and the game more enjoyable.
That’s why we’re hosting our Convention Card Workshop!
✅ Part 1 is already available on replay
✅ Part 2 is happening next Saturday
✅ You’ll learn how to complete your card and understand what all those boxes actually mean
And if you’re a member of the Bridge Unleashed VIP Community, these workshops are included with your membership.

Let’s take the mystery out of convention cards and help you feel more confident at the table.
06/06/2026
Bridge players spend years learning how to show ONE suit.
Then one day they discover a convention that says:
“Why choose?”
😂
Imagine this auction:
Opponent: “I have Clubs.”
Partner: “Pass.”
Opponent: “I have Hearts.”
You: “Cool. I have the OTHER TWO.”
That’s Sandwich 1 No Trump.
You’re literally stuck in the middle of the opponents’ conversation, which is exactly where the convention gets its name.
The best part?
This convention teaches one of the biggest bridge secrets:
A hand isn’t just about points.
It’s about SHAPE.
Sometimes a good 5-5 hand can create more tricks than a flat hand with extra high card points.
That’s why experienced players get excited about distribution.
And why newer players eventually discover that long suits are often worth their weight in gold.
🥪 Key Takeaways:
✓ You passed first
✓ Both opponents bid
✓ Partner passed
✓ One No Trump is NOT natural
✓ Shows the two unbid suits
✓ Usually promises at least 5-5 shape
✓ Shape creates tricks

Can we all agree this may be the only bridge convention that sounds like something you order at lunch?
