Thread: Bridge and Mahjong

  1. #11
    i am looking at the rules of bridge and find it quite difficult but i think it is one of those games that the only way to understand the rules is to start playing.
    When i was a kid there was a rumor that Mrs. cooper in number 23 used to play strip poker. it went all over poplar and my mum warned my dad not to go near the place.
    They look at me and think I'm cool, I'm purplefan at night I rule.

    Just been looking at the rules of bridge and mahjong, both seem rather complicated.

    Here's a link on Wikipedia to bridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_bridge

    Bidding seems a tad complicated.

    Here's a link on Wikipedia to mahjong https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong

    All those different tiles are most confusing.

    Think I'll need a brain transplant to cope with either of those games.

    Mayjong is just matching tiles isn't it. Or is that another game. If it is matching tiles then that's easy.

    Maggie the tile matching game is called Mahjong Solitaire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong_solitaire

    Whereas the Chinese multiplayer tile game called Mahjong is totally different (they use the same tiles that's all) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong

    My nan taught me to play whist and bridge when I was a youngster but I cant remember how to play now. My dad was a cribbage player and I used to play pontoon and rummy with my sister back in the day

    I've played whist, pontoon, rummy and used to play cribbage way back during the lunch break when I worked nights at AEI in Trafford Park way back in the 1970's.
