From the article: Top 5 Trick-Taking Card Games
Trick-taking card games are some of my favorites. I've always enjoyed games like Euchre, Spades and Oh Hell. In middle school, I even joined the Bridge club, although I haven't played that particular trick-taking game in many years. So which trick-taking card game is your favorite, and why?

Trick Taking card Games
- One of the best card games I've played in years is this new game called DBone. The competition to win makes it so much fun.

Sociable bridge is my favorite game
- Serious bridge players, and their behavior, have given bridge a bad name--you don't have to yearn to be an expert and serious player any more than if you wanted to say, ice skate, you have to learn to do figure 8s or not take it up at all. Sociable bridge is, under my definition, bridge without stress. Mostly women (men seem to not want to play except seriously), there are ladies-only-bridge-lunch clubs that have lasted literally for fifty years. [The one I joined in 1960, is still going! Without me, of course, I moved away in 1984, and then again to Florida in 2004.) One of the great things about sociable bridge is that even I, moving at 84, was able to create a modest social life for myself apart from my daughter's family--I play in a group with women young enough to be my daughter and I love that opportunity. Also play with a much older group -- some in 90s -- at the senior center. Bridge, science is telling us these days, keeps us dementia free. So far so good at 89.

Euchre is #1
- I agree with your pick -- Euchre is my favorite trick-taking game. I remember playing as a kid, and I still love it today.
