🃏 2-Table Movements — 4 Pairs
Table Movement Cards for a 2-table duplicate bridge session. Perfect for a small group who want proper competitive scoring.
Before your cruise, download and print the set that suits your available time. Fold each card and place one at each table. The ship’s reception desk will usually print these for you if you email them ahead — just ask nicely and mention it’s for the bridge group!
6 Boards — Short Session (~45 minutes)
2 rounds of 3 boards • Great for a quick pre-dinner game
When time is tight — perhaps before dinner or during a port stop — this short 6-board session still gives you a proper competitive result. Each pair plays 6 boards total, enough for matchpoint scoring to produce a clear winner.

12 Boards — Standard Session (~1.5 hours)
6 rounds of 2 boards • The recommended session length
This is the sweet spot for a 4-pair session — long enough to produce meaningful results and enjoy some good bridge, short enough to fit comfortably into a cruise day. Each pair plays every other pair across 6 rounds, making for a fair and complete tournament.

24 Boards — Full ACBL Session (~3 hours)
12 rounds of 2 boards • Full club-standard session
For a full afternoon or evening session, the 24-board game gives you the same board count used in ACBL club games. If you’re on a longer cruise with a dedicated bridge group, this is the proper club-standard experience. Clear the afternoon and settle in!
