As subliminally suggested in thestampforum.boards.net/post/65811/thread, we should also have a thread about the game of bridge. Having been a player myself in my youth, I do seek out such stamps, but they are rather uncommon! So first, let's complete the set we were introduced to in the post mentioned above:  The North American bridge championship is now called the Bermuda Bowl. I was never good enough to be a competitive player, but I do know and have played against several of the people that represented Canada there. |

Some other game of bridge issues I have: From left to right: the Netherlands, Wallis and Futuna, and the Dutch West Indies.  I seem to remember there is also an issue from Aruba, and I'm pretty sure I have it somewhere, but I can't find it right now  I would be very curious to see other issues on that theme! |
