There are card games that are mostly social activities. Like Rummy. That’s a good game for sitting around with 3 or 4 people and playing cards while you chat and sip on a cold drink. But other games are for serious competition.
I know a lot of people who play Bridge, even though it doesn’t make the news like it used to back in the 1960’s. There are a lot of people in Bridge clubs who play regularly, some even once a week for live games and every night online.
I’m thinking about learning how to play and going to a few places that host the games. I hear that the community center is hosting a Bridge Club once a month. It would be nice to get out on a regular basis and see people.
