MSN Card Games

Ten years is a long time in the gaming world, and in 2006 MSN Zone retired its popular Classic Games format to make way for updated versions of some of the favorite games but in a different playing format. Gone were the lobbies and tables, chat and tournament play – all replaced by an automatic matching process. Gone was Cribbage and Euchre – but new versions of Heart, Spades and Bridge are available. At the time there was a great outcry from the committed zone player and the loss of their community – and it would seem that these players have indeed moved on.

The Zone used to be a thriving community of card players -the nature of the games and style of play is now vastly different and it seems that card players have voted with their feet and moved on to other card site as these days the number playing are greatly reduced.

Hearts Spades and Bridge are now available – play against computers or allow the automatic matching system set up a rated game – its a far cry from ‘the good old days’ but it is a game site of sorts ! MSN Games
