What is "no-trump"?

No-trump is a term used in card games like bridge to describe a situation where there is no designated trump suit. Normally, one suit is chosen as the trump, meaning its cards are stronger than the others. However, in no-trump, none of the suits have this special power. All suits are treated equally, and the player must rely on the strength of their hand without the advantage of a trump suit. Bidding no-trump often signals that a player has a balanced hand with high-ranking cards spread across different suits.
