The card sharks at Creekside Community Center are in for a treat, as the center rolls out a full weekly itinerary of card games for those aged 50 and up who want to shuffle, deal, and face-off in a friendly game of wits, the center announced.

The lineup includes classic games such as Duplicate Bridge on Mondays and Hearts on Fridays, catering to seasoned players raring to lead their spades or cut their losses in a game of cribbage; meanwhile, those looking to up their ante can join Club 500, which holds court on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the BloomingtonMN.gov website details.

Not quite ready to hold all the aces? Fear not, Creekside’s offering tutelage on the art of the deal with lessons for cribbage, euchre, hearts, and pinochle, all taking place on Tuesdays, because everyone knows, learning is half the battle and a full deck trumps a half-hearted attempt.

All the action happens at the Creekside Community Center, located at 9801 Penn Ave, where they deal more than just cards; it’s a deal of community, camaraderie, and competition where the stakes are low but spirits are high, the center invites anyone with questions to call 952-563-4944, or they can just go all in and send an email to [email protected].
