If you like chess and Go, then give contract bridge another shot. It’s probably easier to learn at a club than online. Like chess and Go, you can play bridge at any level, from casual to all-consuming.

If there is no club near you, then pick up a book - I learned from Ben Cohen and Rhoda Lederer’s “All about Acol”. A little later, read Terence Reese’s “The Play of the Cards”.

If, rather than dive in, you want some motivation, read Victor Mollo’s “Bridge in the Menagerie” series or David Bird’s books about the Abbot and the monks of St Titus. Both highly entertaining reads that give more of the flavour of why bridge is enormous fun than any textbook can. (Although Rhoda Lederer’s version of Hamlet’s soliloquy is a very creditable effort )



Yes I was considering trying Bridge again. Thanks for book tips!
