Hi!

"Maybe we can together and play sometime. My wife loves bridge. Well. I have to meet my partner over there. It looks like we're up next. Nice talking with you.

What does "we're up next" mean?

Thanks,

Lynn

'We're up next' - it's our turn to compete/take part in something/do something.

The man has to meet his partner, then they are going to take part in something (usually a contest of some sort. Its their turn.)
