Hearts. Spades. Bridge. Rook. Trick-taking games are a long-standing staple in the world of card games. So what's the appeal? Why do people enjoy them so much? How do they work? And what new innovations have been made on this genre in recent years?

Is chess a sport? Why is it so popular? How did it become a global game? Why is the queen the most powerful piece on the board? When playing with a computer on low difficulty, how does it know how to play a not so great move? Do men and women play in separate tournaments?

... We explain like i'm five!
