Don't know bridge; but friends in an old Twig taught me hearts and spades - fun card games - but haven't played either one in years - keep telling myself I'm going to get back into it when I retire.
Crib is a card game can be played by two, three or four players. Scores are made by making 15 or 31 points in play (that gets two holes), then whatever is in a person's "hand" of four cards. First to 121 holes (points) wins. It's quite easy but the skill is in the play. I learned from a young age and to this day (not far from retirement) add up quicker in 15s than in 10s!

Twinky, I didn't know what it was; thanks for the information. Are you going to play Bridge, and Cribbage when you retire??
I learned bridge when I was young. My parents played, and when my maternal grandmother would visit, we would play. Eventually all my brothers and sisters and the next-door neighbor family played. I played a bit in college and grad school, and for a year or two after starting work in Texas. Haven't played in several years, but I suspect I could hold my own (if you don't confuse me with all of the different bidding conventions).
well to honestly confess..I play 5 days a week..its one of my vices as it's pretty addictive but a super great fun game especially when you have a foursome of good players..The common beef on bridge is that most players are a bit haughty & yeh I know a few like that, BUT the game is to me thee game..lol..always a challenge & definitely a game like chess where strategy is of utmost importance..
I did come up with a really fun version of honeymoon bridge (2 player) which I put a little different twist to it..if anyone would like to try it who's a tad familiar with bridge I'd be happy to show you how k??

Cribbage is my game. My great grandfather taught me.
I'm not smart enough for bridge. (Or more, I can't be bothered to apply my mind to the game.)

Cribbage! My dad's game. Sadly, haven't played that one in years either.
