Given that my father's uncle was Charles Goren, I have a personal connection to the game. It certainly requires the effort to learn the systems of hand evaluation, partner communication and card play. This acquisition of knowledge and skills must be done collaboratively, which is what makes it so eminently sociable, but this is perhaps what also led to its decline in popularity once the television became the hearth of the lounge room. For this reason it's hard to see it making a comeback, sadly.
