Many thanks to all.
What does table have to do with dummy please?
^The wordplay certainly looks right but I don't know why table=dummy either
All I can find is a 'Dummy Hand' in cards - which you place on the table.


Seems like something is missing here.
Probably correct, at Bridge the dummy tables his hand.
^I thought of Contract Bridge Mamya, but I've never heard the dummy hand called the table or vice versa
Thanks folks. Maybe an outdated bridge term?
