tonyh: Ok - Bridge is not actually a "turn-based: game, There are plenty of good sites on the internet where you can play bridge real time (for example, www.okbridge,com). I play bridge two or three times a week at real bridge clubs with real people, and when somebody takes three minutes to make a bid, it is S L O W !!! Imagine somebody taking two weeks! It just would not work. But go ahead and push for turn-based bridge at three months per hand if you like. I think I will stick to 28 boards per night. I'll stick to backgammon and chess and variants which this site is brilliant at.
