Fonctions :	Name cards are part of a bridge card set as they are printed in similar style.The origin of bridge dates back to the early 16th century when the game was known as whist. Whist eventually evolved into bridge. It likely originated in the Middle East and was then developed by the British in India. The evolution of the game continued right into the 20th century. As sailors and immigrants crossed the Atlantic, they brought with them their cherished card games. Bridge first came to America in 1890 and the rules to the game underwent a drastic change soon thereafter. In 1925, while on a cruise, Harold S. Vanderbilt introduced the modern rules of bridge, also known as contact bridge, as we know it today.
