Never got the fever.........now if you’re talking Hearts or Spades............................
I played for a while; it is the most challenging card game out there...once you understand the bidding.
I stopped when my father died; he was a riot to play bridge with.

I’ve always wanted to learn Bridge. My Mom played it and I have an aunt and cousin who played as well. I haven’t been able to get my head wrapped around the game though.
I do play Euchre (had to learn as my wife is from Michigan), Hand and Foot (Canasta), Hearts, and Spite and Malice.
When my wife and I were on the Queen Mary 2, traveling from New York to Southampton and return, I played bridge for two hours every day and discovered that I really enjoyed it ... I also found that I was pretty good at it as well ...
I’ve played since I was 19
A great game
I used to play weekly. There is no card game compared to it. It was uniquely fun and challengeing.
I used to belong to a chess club. One day three of the members showed up at my house and said they were going to make a bridge player out of me.
Amazingly, they succeeded.
There’s a strip mall in a big suburb where I get my hair cut. There’s always a packed parking lot there. There’s an almost unmarked large space there that is packed with (mostly older) bridge players from early AM to late PM six and sometimes seven days a week.
I had no idea until I asked about the crowd.
No, but I watched “Fargo Season 3” and know all the words to “Prisencolinensinainciusol” which I figure must be like the official bridge theme song...

I was a Rummy and Euchre guy growing up in small town Indiana. As I traveled the world I picked up Bouree (LA), Sheeps Head (WI), cribbage, dominoes, etc
Still haven’t played bridge or pinochle.
Current preference is for Euchre... though with the right crowd Sheeps Head is a blast.
Not well...
Do you play weak 2’s or strong 2’s?
College: pinochle
Summer vacations: cribbage
Grad school: spades
Bridge? never made it to bridge (never had to do a post-doc)
Wanted to learn and tried valiantly. I even took a class. It’s too complicated for this Old Fogey.
1 yes-TRUMP.
:D
I play bridge, but, mostly against the computer. AS well as cribbage. I had a canasta program too, but, not sure where that is. BANG! is also a very fun card game.
Bridge is fun, I learned from a group of older folks at my church when I was in my 20s and enjoy it.
But if you want real fun with a card game, get Arkham Horror. LOTS of fun, very challenging and and the rules can be less clear than Fizbin.
My parents had Bridge parties when we were all growing up every week (or more often). They’re in their 80’s now and still play every week at the country club.
All these years and I never learned how to play.
But I’d like to...
Oh, funny story...when I was a kid me and my sister would climb out the window and go around outside to the bar room and “spy” through the windows and watch them play. They sometimes mentioned something about a “rubber” and we were convinced they were doing something wrong. We were around 9 or 10 at the time when you’re just finding out about things like that...LOL!
Family used to play a lot of pinochle. Can’t seem to get the young-uns interested.
I play bridge. Badly.
How about a nice game of chess?
