From the venue:
The Kings & Queens Chapter of the American Bridge Association (ABA) is proud to sponsor the second Roswell Roots Bid Whist Card Party. The game of whist, a precursor to both bid whist and bridge, has been around at least since the 1700s, when it was a favorite in London gambling houses. During the Civil War, African Americans were introduced to the game and were said to have put the “bid†in bid whist.
