Howell Movements — Table Cards by Group Size
🃏 2-Table Movements
4 pairs • 3 session lengths available
Found a small group? A 2-table Howell is a complete competitive tournament for 4 pairs (8 players). Ideal for informal cruise bridge.
🃏 3-Table Movements
5 or 6 pairs • 5 session options
Three tables is the sweet spot for cruise bridge. Full Howell for 6 pairs, or a sit-out movement if you only have 5.
🃏 4-Table Movements
7 or 8 pairs • 4 session options
Four tables is where cruise bridge comes alive. A proper competitive tournament for 8 pairs, or 7 with a sit-out.
🃏 5-Table Movements
9 or 10 pairs • 4 session options
Ten pairs means a real tournament. Club-standard duplicate for serious bridge groups on longer voyages.
⏳ 6+ Tables (Mitchell Movements) — Movement cards for 6, 7 and 8 tables coming soon. Mitchell movements work differently — NS pairs stay fixed while EW pairs move — and produce separate NS and EW rankings.
Cruise Bridge Guides
🚢 DIY Bridge Boards for Cruise Ships
Complete guide • No boards on your ship? No problem.
Most cruise ships have playing cards but no duplicate bridge boards. This illustrated guide shows you how to create professional improvised boards using just playing cards, printed slips and rubber bands — everything fits in a small bag and takes minutes to set up.
💡 Need scoring too? The Bridge Modes Calculator is a free app that handles live scoring, matchpoint calculation and final standings for your session. Works on any device, no download needed — and once loaded it works fully offline, perfect when you’re in the middle of the ocean with no internet connection!
