That night, I invited a few friends over to my farm for a game night. These used to be bridge nights but we gradually came to a conclusion that we should explore another options. We are versatile crowd when it comes to the ultimate card game. Some are still processing the basic bridge bidding rules, while others are into discovering various complex bridge conventions well beyond the scope of an average rubber game. They say, in bridge beginners can compete with world-class players. It actually does happen in the tournaments (imagine that in soccer) but it is not enjoyable gamingwise for either party (even though playing two boards against Zia or - better yet - Warren Buffet - is a great story to tell). Anyone saying that is just marketing the game too hard.
Backgammon is our current choice. A classic board game with easy-to-understand rules also offers a fair shot at a shortterm win to the inferior player. The scientist gets his fascinating puzzles regardless of the opposition mistakes on the way towards the actual board position. And when you insist on playing your peers, it is much easier to match players for a 1-vs-1 gaming than bridge tables of four (if you ever have enough players to fill two in the first place).
This time, the evening took a detour. My son apparently decided to try the game and picked up the gaming equipment I set aside too early. Being too young to read the rules, he decided to seek help. Trusting his backyard buddies more than his parents, he took all the stuff to piggery. Not learning what he wanted, he left it there and moved on to being an airplane or whatever he just happened to have on the top of the to-do list.
