Are you a game player?

I've played Hearts since summer camp, and various card games and mah-jong, triple-play while caring for parents in Arizona...   I've just retired and would love to join some retired/gay card group in London - but have yet to find...   one of my early retirement goals is to learn bridge...

I might also enjoy learning bridge.

My hometown had a fantastic newspaper with everything, including a daily column on playing bridge.  I didn't know the game but the column must have been adjacent to something I read so I noticed it. 

My mother belonged to 3 bridge clubs.  She used to deal bridge hands on the dining room table for practice.  

My sense is those days are gone, meeting in homes and playing bridge.

Well, those days may be greatly diminished, but I for one play bridge once a week with friends.  We usually play 4 to 5 hours at a stretch..

And I know it’s played a lot in many retirement homes.

I highly recommend learning to play bridge especially if you have a good friend who likes playing cards since it is a team game.

Some people are very serious about it and play for master points.  But I really enjoy a good Social game.

Bridge is a big commitment to learn, but worth it if you find the right crew. For a solo card fix, I just pull up Solitaire on my tablet. It’s straightforward, works well on mobile, and has some good variations if you get bored of the classic Klondike.
