A safety play is a bridge insurance policy. The premium you pay is usually one trick. At rubber bridge it’s worth the price to guarantee your contract. In duplicate, if all players holding your cards are in the game you may not wish to play safe. If doubled or in a contract few others reach you may want to play safely.
