I played Bridge almost entirely with my family members. Our level of expertise was "We read the instructions for Bridge off a pamphlet somewhere." We really enjoyed playing it. Once or twice we had the chance to play Bridge with someone who Played Bridge and it was much less fun. Suddenly, our bids meant stuff, communicated something, and/or were wrong somehow. I'm sure if I played a lot of Bridge it would be better to play it the mainstream way. But, if it is a game you only play a bit with family sometimes - I think it's more fun to just play how you feel it should be played.
