What is a "rubber"?
In card games like bridge, a rubber is a series of games played between two teams. To win a rubber, a team needs to win two games. Each game is made up of several hands, and the team that wins two games first wins the rubber. The rubber is a way to keep track of who is winning over a longer period of play, instead of just focusing on one game. It gives a team a chance to recover if they lose the first game, and the rubber winner is the team that wins the most games.
