Does anyone play Bridge anymore?

[pokerfan]

33. My parents taught me bridge

along with most of the other card games. It was the fifties and bridge parties were all the rage. It's the perfect game for two couples.

But I would rather play poker (obviously), backgammon (picked it up in the seventies when there was a bit of a rage, read a book and started winning tournaments), chess and go.


(Go board)

Neither of my parents played chess but they gave me a set for my eighth xmas. After I taught myself, I taught my father. My father used to describe chess as bridge for two people. We used to play almost every evening. When I left for college he had no one to play with so he tried to teach my mother but she said it gave her headaches. My dad would have loved the Internet.
