Bridge seems to be a game of "lets take all the good parts of Spades then overcomplicate it".
Kids can definitely learn all the lessons mentioned by playing Spades and its much quicker to teach.
Most of the fun in Spades is not being serious, which is easier if you're not playing for money. Long bizarre rambling hilarious discussions about how many tricks we can take vs how much BS the other team can throw down. If you play with super strict players whom think anything other than saying a number is "cheating" then Spades is incredibly boring. "Well I donno maybe with some luck I think I could possibly take three if I'm lucky how are you feeling?" "Oh they're saying they'll take 8, you know those two, they're always overbidding, how do you feel about taking 9."
Imagine playing DnD but all you can do is roll dice, call out numbers, and not talk any shit at the table.
- adrian_b 4y agoWhere I was in high-school, bridge happened to be extremely popular (and also another Whist variant, some kind of Oh Hell). I can assure you that most of the bridge games from that high-school time were extremely funny and hilarious. So I do not believe that whether a game is boring or funny has much to do with the rules of the game, but more with what kind of players participate. Also, I do not believe that the rules of bridge are too complicated. When I was much younger, many simpler card games were entertaining, but by the time we were in high-school, most other card games, except bridge, seemed much too simple to provide any kind of intellectual satisfaction after a skillful win.
