Top 5 Bridge Apps You Have to Try Now
|
|
While face to face card games have a long history, these days the masses
are finding online games and computer applications offer even more ways to
enjoy card play. |
Bridge is one of the most popular
card games in the world, and it is the only game involving cards that has
been recognised as a ‘mind sport’ by the International Olympic
Committee. Chess is the other game which is considered to be a mind sport.

doesn’t require any thinking or strategy whatsoever might be a good way of
relaxing after a long game of Bridge, especially if you play Duplicate
Bridge. Not to mention the fact that there are huge prizes to be won.
