used to be very fond of "goulashes," and they seem to be gaining in favoir again. The cards are not shuiled for a goulash hand, and they are dealt out five at a time, then five again, and finally three at a
time.
The full rules of the game, pre amusingly and clearly explained by my friend Pall Wertheimer in his Ittis book "Ghoulie," from which today's hand is taken. Any bridge player can pick the game up in about one minute flet, but there's more to it than meets the eye at first glance.
South's bidding. for example, i somewhat ambillows by ordinary bridge standards. He gally makes a Due bid with a broken spade suit and not a single diamond in support of North's quit.
