Well, I want to know what kind of games (preferably card games and board games) do you like to play. I specify the card game, bridge because people around me always give me the impression that if they love math, probably they also love playing bridge. Do you find people interested in math love playing bridge also?

I love playing bridge and in summer holidays, I can stay up for a whole night and play online bridge (have a stable bridge partner). I've taught a few friends how to play but it seems that they aren't that interested in it.

I also love playing Winmine, so does my math teacher! I also love playing Reversi, Chinese Chess, Chinese checkers, Hex, Dots, Solitaire, etc. I'll learn GO and chess in the coming summer holiday. What a pity that I can't join the Chess Tournament in PF as I don't know how to play.

Edit: If you tick option #1, please tick option #2 as well coz I want to know if most math people like playing bridge:wink:
