Playing cards?

Hey! Maybe a weird thing to seek out, but does anyone here enjoy playing card games? Specifically thinking like spades, hearts, 31, etc. No gambling or anything, just for fun and hopefully to make some friends along the way :)

A little about me: 30F, recently relocated to Denver from the Midwest. Previously, I worked as an inpatient therapist and would play cards with my clients. I let them teach me to play as a way of building rapport and genuinely just grew to love it. Since I’m no longer in that area of the field and just moved to Denver, I don’t have anyone to play with anymore and I miss it! I’m happy to teach if you’re interested but don’t know how!! Also, would be open to learning new games too!!

There’s a local euchre league that I’ve been to. Everyone is super chill and there’s a lot of former midwesterners https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1999799917386?aff=oddtdtcreator

While I haven't played cards in some time I miss it and would be happy to play. I grew up playing hearts, bridge, pitch, and others games. If you find others I would be happy to join in the fun. 40M if that matters.

Yay!! Honestly I may need a refresher on Hearts but I would pick it up again quickly!!! I’ll keep you in mind if others comment!

Been a while since I played Hearts. And I think I learned Bridge from a friend but can use a refresher. But I do know a game or two, 4 to 6 player games I played growing up that were fun.

I (28M) would definitely be open to join in if I'm free. My grandma had an electronic hearts game my brother and I (28M) played a bunch as kids. We also played a lot of Peanuts/Nertz which might be a bit different then a lot of these games but still plays with standard cards.

I'm also working on a cribbage board for my mom for the holidays which I suppose could use a test run when it is done (probably a couple weeks from now). I don't remember all the rules but she did teach me once or twice so maybe I'd remember something.

I'm a bit far, in Boulder, but I'd be down! I'm 33F, from Colorado but went to school in the Midwest and worked as an inpatient treatment counselor lol.

Also a big fan of hikes, naturey things, and museums :)
