Do people still play bridge (card game) ?

TyBounce · Jun 27, 2017

Back in the 60s bridge was a very popular card game for adults. I remember my parents playing bridge and my mother was in a bridge club for many years ......but I haven't heard anyone talking about playing bridge in about 30 years.

I guess technology and devices have made cards in general obsolete ecpecially with young people , not many kids playing go fish these days.

There's a bridge club where I live. It's all geriatrics but it's thriving. They're always jammed packed. The game never had any appeal to me, maybe because you need to play with a partner.

My kids learned how to play pitch a few months ago, they now want to play about every night.

like many things such as horse racing and bowling, bridge appeals to an older demographic.

Bowling is still going pretty strong. I don't go much, but when I do the place is always packed.

lot less bowling alleys today, that's the few remaining ones are crowded.

I still play spades and gin / gin rummy. Is it close to those type games?
