Bridge is nice because you have a person designated to gather drinks while you play.

What's even stupider is that i can remember a million fiddly stupid rules from Magic the gathering even though i haven't touched one of those cards since '95
Anything with normal fuckin cards? I've forgotten that poo poo by the time the first hand is dealt.

Bowling would be fun if they had crazy shaped lanes like a miniature golf version of bowling or something

Bridge is an ejoyable game, also the designated drink maker is the number 1 feature, every card game should have that.
