In the card game of contract bridge, when declarer is playing a hand in dummy reversal fashion, she uses trump cards to ruff in her hand and retains the trumps in dummy to draw the opponents' remaining trumps.
Some indicators that a hand may lend itself to dummy reversal are:
- shortness (singleton or void) in declarer's hand
- loser(s) in declarer's hand that cannot be ruffed or discarded on a side suit
- adequate trump strength and length in dummy
