I just read a piece in the New Yorker in which contract bridge is described as a dying game, with the author of the piece saying that at a recent bridge tournament he was he was the youngest player at 52. This came as a surprise to me, as I spent lots of hours in college playing bridge -- although, as I come to think of it, most of the people I played against learned to play either from me or from the people who taught me. (There were colonies of bridge players in the math department and also in the student-owned co-op I lived in.)

I haven't played much since then, although there was a while where I played online with friends from college every so often, but even that has trailed off.

Anyway:

[Poll #1056351]

Bridge questions, comments, and anecdotes are welcomed in the comments.

Also, I promise this is not part of a plot to lure my unsuspecting friends into the ways of bridge-playing. (Unless they want to be lured in, of course.)
