Summary "Bridge Axioms and Laws" by J. B. Elwell is a guidebook on the game of Bridge written in the early 20th century. This instructional text lays out fundamental principles and strategies for players seeking to improve their gameplay. It focuses on axioms and laws that govern both the theoretical and practical aspects of Bridge, offering valuable insights for players of varied skill levels. The book is structured around a series of axioms which reflect on the critical thinking and careful observation needed to excel in Bridge. Elwell emphasizes the importance of partnership trust and communication, presenting rules for gameplay as well as etiquette at the card table. The latter part of the book introduces the "Change the Suit Call," a strategic convention aimed at enhancing communication between partners during play, particularly when navigating the complexities of no-trump situations. Through this systematic approach, Elwell seeks to refine players' abilities, urging them to learn from both their successes and mistakes while engaging with the strategies and laws that define Bridge.
