Bridge can be a complex game, but it doesn't have to be right out of the gate.  Come to the Anchorage Bridge Center on November 9 at 12:30 and you'll be playing bridge before 1:00.

Top Ten Reasons to Play Bridge - #9

Number Nine:

Because you can play at any age, and it brings all ages together. 

ANY age. 

Sure, thinking of bridge summons up images of senior centers, or grandmother's bridge night.  This is because bridge is a game that you can keep playing for years and years. 

But bridge is also a great game for younger ages. 

I first learned to play bridge when I was in high school.  The card game quickly took over huge sections of the lunch room and our administration even eventually partitioned off part of the cafeteria for cards there were so many of us. 

In college the phrase "who's up for bridge?" was the best way to splinter any study group and result in bleary eyes the next morning after playing late into the night. 

Bridge brings all ages together into a common past time.  When I first started playing bridge in Anchorage I was 24 years old.  I made friends with people 60 years my senior, and realized that I never really had friends outside my general age group before.  Bridge is a game that brings us together young and old. 

Basically, if you think you're too young for bridge or too old to finally learn, you're wrong, you're just the right age, and everyone else at the table will appreciate having you there.
