Now that I'm retired, I decided to test the waters of real person play again by signing up as a sub in a local club. I didn't humiliate myself in playing, but it was pretty embarrassing to realize I had lost all skills handling actual cards. I looked like a 5th grader trying to shuffle and deal. Despite that, it must have been decided that I was good enough to get another call, so I'm going to play again next week.
Enter daughter and fiance who like to play Euchre and wanted us to try it last week. As soon as I saw that it involved bidding, trump cards, and taking tricks, I started to get worried. Is it possible to keep rules and strategies for two such similar games separate in your head??? Anyone know somebody who can?
does it make a difference if the point is to have fun??
ReplyDeleteI'm sure with practice you can keep it straight. Kind'a like being bi-lingual :)
ReplyDeleteI like Hearts, but it's been forever since I've played. I never could catch on to Bridge and I can't play poker to save my life. My game is Cribbage. Hubby and I play (almost) every night.
