EMW Back Alley

A trick-taking card game with mechanics similar to Bridge.

Back Alley, also known as Back Alley Bridge, is a card game with military origins, likely dating back to the World War II era.

The gameplay shares similarities with Bridge and Spades. Your objective is to score points by winning tricks. Players must predict the number of tricks they expect to win; accurate predictions, without overestimating, yield higher scores. Rounds begin with one card in the doubles version and two cards in singles, increasing by one card each round up to a maximum of 13, then decreasing back down to the starting hand size. The overall goal is to finish the game with the highest point total. For comprehensive rules, download the app or visit my website using the support URL.

The game offers two variants: a doubles version for four players (two teams of two) and a singles version for three individual players.

You have the option to save the game after the deal concludes.
