DESIGNER of a new card game; BRiST, will be teaching Bathurst residents, young and old, how to play the game at a launching event at the Bathurst Bridge Club.

The club has invited designer of the game; George Kavanagh to introduce the game at a family fun day, to be held on Sunday, October 30, from 11am to 2:30pm.

Mr Kavanagh said that he started developing BRiST in 2004, as a means to create a contract bridge game that can be played by children, and will encourage younger people to develop an interest in bridge.

“My intention with BRiST was to create a game that could be played by younger people and also older people who used to be bridge players, who are losing the ability to concentrate,” he said.
