Bridge


Bridge is a partnership card game.  It happens to be the most intriguing card game in the world and because it is so absorbing it can become incredibly addictive.    It is rather like chess with cards, involves total concentration, and has its own language called 'bidding'.
 
It is absolutely brilliant as relaxation because when you are thinking about Bridge there simply isn't enough room in your head to be able to think about anything else - guaranteed! 

The game is played at many levels from around the kitchen table to international tournaments and aspiring players can achieve club rankings from Club Master to Grand Master, via earning Master Points as a result of achievements in local, national and international events!    

Occasionally Bridge is played for money in private gambling clubs - but this is not how Bridge is usually played.

To get to grips with the rudiments of the game it is a great idea to go on a bridge holiday catering for beginners.  For more experienced players Bridge holidays are often coupled with golf, bowls, cruises or sightseeing tours to many parts of the world.  

Bridge players who have to travel abroad on business will often seek out a club at their destination and email ahead of their visit to arrange for a partner of similar ability to play with them when they arrive.   I have done this loads of times and have played in Zurich, Hong Kong, California and a whole host of other places in Europe.

It's a great way to make new friends without necessarily knowing much of their language!   If you enjoy playing cards, do give Bridge a try -you will have the hobby of a lifetime and even if you can't always get to a local club to play - there are online clubs where you can join in games from your own laptop.
