What is an "overtrick"?
An overtrick in card games like bridge refers to any trick won by the declarer’s side beyond the number needed to fulfill their contract. For example, if the contract is to win nine tricks, but the declarer wins ten tricks, the extra one is an overtrick. Overtricks earn additional points, but they are usually less valuable than fulfilling the contract itself. However, in competitive play, overtricks can impact scoring and strategy, especially in duplicate bridge.
