In bridge, an Ace, King, Queen, Jack, or ten of any suit. The ten is generally regarded as a pretty wimpy honor, but it counts in the scoring nonetheless. When playing rubber bridge, there is a bonus for holding the right honors in your hand:

  • In a suit contract, a player is awarded 100 points (100 honors) for holding four out of the five honors in the trump suit, and 150 points (150 honors) for holding all five.
  • In a notrump contract, a player is awarded 100 points (100 honors) for holding three aces, and 150 points (150 honors) for holding all four.
