In contract bridge the minor suits are diamonds () and clubs (). They are given that name because contracts made in those suits score less (20 per contracted trick) than contracts made in the major suits (30 per contracted trick), and they rank lower in bidding. In particular, one can make game with a four-level bid in a major suit, while a five-level bid is required in a minor. Of the two minor suits, diamonds rank higher than clubs. ==Suit combinations== Fundamentally, there are three ways to divide four suits into pairs: by ''color'', by ''rank'' and by ''shape'' resulting in six possible suit combinations. * Color is used to denote the ''red'' suits (hearts and diamonds) and the ''black'' suits (spades and clubs). * Rank is used to indicate the ''major'' (spades and hearts) versus ''minor'' (diamonds and clubs) suits. * Shape is used to denote the ''pointed'' (diamonds and spades, which visually have a sharp point uppermost) versus ''rounded'' (hearts and clubs) suits. For four-color decks, it has been suggested that the red/black distinction could be replaced by ''pointed bottoms'' (hearts and diamonds visually have a sharp point downwards, whereas spades and clubs have a blunt stem). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「minor suit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
