[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 824191, member: 53455"] During my senior year in high school, I began to play whist with some friends, and soon thereafter graduated to bridge, which I played madly all during my student years. The game is immensely challenging and loads of fun to play, even if your hand is not too good. The coded dialogue of the bidding between you and your partner is very interesting to learn and master, and the actual playing does wonders for your memory, as you keep it in great shape by having to memorize, if you can, every card that’s been played to make educated guesses at what the other players may still have in hand... Then, when I began to work I seemed to shed the habit, probably because young lawyers are notoriously overworked and there is not much time to do anything else... Anyway, in memory of those bygone days, I took in 2019 this flat-lay photograph of a pair of Kem plastic card sets, the best brand there was back then half a century ago. They are as good as new! Nikon Z7, Voigtländer Nokton 58mm, ƒ/1.4 lens, manual focus. Gitzo tripod, Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Artificial lighting, single exposure. [ATTACH type="full"]410324[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
