What is an "auction"?
An auction in card games refers to a process where players bid or compete to determine the terms of play, such as the trump suit, the number of tricks to be taken, or who will have control of the game. Auctions are common in games like Bridge, where players bid based on the strength of their hands. Each player takes turns making bids, often stating how many tricks they believe they can win, and the highest bid usually determines the game's rules for that round. The auction phase helps set up the gameplay and strategy for the players involved.
