Family Friendly Bridge Club is an ACBL sanctioned duplicate bridge club in Arlington Massachusetts.
We aspire to provide the friendliest and most relaxed competitive duplicate bridge games in the greater Boston area. We want to be your club of choice!
Our games are open to all level players, with masterpoints awarded to high finishers in every stratification. We participate in The Common Game, playing the same deals as clubs all over the country. You can see how your results stack up against hundreds of other pairs, read expert hand analysis and “Kibitz the Pros.”
We especially encourage newcomers and people visiting the area to come play duplicate bridge with us.
We care about each other and our greater community. In addition to enjoying duplicate bridge games with our friends, we try to be good community citizens through club outreach and charity.
