Abstract :
A strategy is given for cooperative bidding by the players which results in the location of all 52 cards being encoded into a valid bridge auction which always terminates with a contract of six diamonds. Strategies are also given for encoding the card locations into auctions in which "double" and/or "redouble" are prohibited bids.
