The centuries-old card game of bridge offers a sharp contrast to esports at the Asian Games


HANGZHOU, China (AP): If you're looking for another kind of esport to follow from the Asian Games, try the centuries-old card game of bridge.

Here the "e” would stand for "elderly” to represent the game's aging demographic - not for "electronic” as in the youth-driven online gaming that's proving to be one of the most popular events of the Asian Games, generating billions in annual revenue worldwide, and producing a new breed of global icons like South Korean League of Legends star "Faker.”
