Bray is a trick-taking card game that has many similarities to the game of Bridge, but it is more complex, with more combinations, and it is played with a standard 52-card deck. The game is divided into four players, who play one on one. Each player receives 5 cards at the start of the game, and another 5 cards at the end of the first hand. The cards in each suit are dealt in a fixed order, from the highest to the lowest value. The player who is dealt the highest card wins the current trick and leads the next trick. There is no trump suit, and the highest card of a suit leads to the next trick.

At the end of each hand, the scores are counted. The player who is the first to reach 100 points wins the game. If all four players have not reached 100 points, the game ends and the player with the lowest score wins.
