Season
One card list, four seasons
Five hundred, euchre, crib, whist and bridge hold their nights year-round; what shifts is the season around them.
How it shifts
One rule carries through every season
Nothing about the stakes changes with the calendar: a house chip is worth nothing in January and nothing in July alike.
Summer brings the room to life earlier, while winter’s Sunday bridge four is often the biggest table of the year.
Whatever the season, every hand is arranged in person at the Goondoon Street counter, never online and never through an app.
