sugarspun58 Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hi all, Firstly, I would like to sorry if I have broken the ethics in terms of the game. My question is..... Do simple games (basic board games) learnt from a young age help out in the future? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finally17 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I have no clue about shubi and shubi alerts...but I was at Borders today and saw this title: The Art of Learning by supposed (I don't know the world of chess) chess prodigy Josh Waitzkin. The book appears to address your question to some degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I don't think that the fact that I learned some board games at a young age will affect the future in a major way. But who knows, perhaps thousands of years from now creatures will be grateful that I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSGibson Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'm going to assume that you're asking if other games can help a future bridge player develop. If that's not what you're asking, please feel free to make fun of my some-what serious response (like some of you need permission...) I think any games that develop inferential reasoning are useful (Clue comes to mind), but for my money the best thing is to play other card games. That develops some card sense and some concept of keeping track of what has been played. Of course, if you are plotting how to make your 6 year old a better bridge player by manipulating the games they play now, then there might be different problems on the horizon than which game develops them best...
