La historia

When my wife and I first started dating, she brought me along on her Cuban family's summer trip to the Bahamas. Almost every night the whole family gathered for Continental — the card game of choice, the rules handed down for generations and fiercely defended. Some nights ended in cheers. A few games did not survive the political arguments. But the next night, everyone was back at the table.

The family is bigger now, and spread out. Cuban Continental exists so the game never waits for the next reunion — Abuelo plays with the grandkids on a random Tuesday, and the only argument left is who really won the ¡May I!.
