Be careful on Pogo Marie.. I used to play on Pogo years ago, for a long time but came to find out it causes all sort of problems with the junk and spyware it places on your computer.. . so I stopped playing..shame really!!

Gin is pretty much like the Canasta. You should try it with the bot. I'm sure you could figure it out plus there's game play info to teach you. I didn't have any luck with the Spades. I don't understand it. LOL!

I like the Mahjong games as well.

I do like Spades, Canasta, and Hearts. I just want to broaden my horizins and play Bridge.

I too would like to learn to play Bridge. Or maybe it would be better said if I said, I'd like to learn to play bridge well. The basics are easy but the subtleties and finesse can take a lifetime to learn. Still, for me, that's part of the attraction. I looked for places to learn to play Bridge for free and I came up with this as a Google search. I've tried some but not all of them. Where I live now, there's a group that meets several times a week to play but sometimes it's just not so easy to fit the group into my schedule. Still, it's a really fun and challenging game. I think of it as kind of like Chess but with playing cards.

There's a wonderful free app called Tricky Bridge that is very learner friendly and well made. Here's a link to a site that has links to get it and video to demo how it works. It's great fun. And it's not worth it (to me) to invest in lessons. Back where I lived, 6 weeks of 1 hour lessons were being offered for $100. I think free has that beat, for me anyhow. Good luck, if you're still trying to learn. I did notice that the last response here was quite some time ago. Cheers! 🐷
 
I played on Pogo for years, then my son introduced me to Casino World, and frankly I finally found Pogo boring, I guess I'd been there too long.
 
The only games I play online are on the digital NYTimes page.
Every day there is a mini crossword puzzle, another game called' spelling bee' You get 7 letters have to come up with words using those letters.

I no longer have access to Word Whomp. Stopped playing online Scrabble and similar games, when my computer was hacked a few years ago. I playing Microsoft Solitaire and Mahjong, that's about it.

I don't know how to play Bridge and I went online to play as a beginner. It looks a lot like Spades/Hearts. You bid and play with a partner and try to get as many books/tricks as you can and you play your trump cards strategically to set your opponents. Right?

Right. Except it's one of those games in which there is a lot to learn. My mother-in-law, who played bridge several times a week for her entire adult life, used to say that it took a lifetime to learn all there was to know. She was 83, and still stayed up all night to play bridge with my group. An amazing woman, in many ways!

You can even compete and maybe become a World Grand Master of Bridge. My MIL's lifetime of learning to be an expert is obviously not true for some people.

I love playing bridge, but IRL. It's hard to find enough people to play it now -- I don't know anyone where I live, so I play when I'm in Atlanta. My ex-husband's senior center has a huge bridge-playing group (50+ people). He loves the game, too, but was intimidated by being the only man there, so he didn't partake. I am going to have to drag him there next time I go to Atlanta. He will be much more comfortable if I'm there to protect him. And he will have a great time, but I doubt he'll go without me along.
