Popular Classic Card Game: Seven Bridges

Overview:

Seven Bridges is a captivating Japanese card game blending elements of Rummy and Mahjong. The objective is simple: be the first to discard all your cards. Players achieve this by forming melds – sets of same-numbered cards (groups) or consecutive cards of the same suit (sequences) – and placing them face-up on the table. Additional scoring opportunities arise by tagging other players' melds, using discarded cards to create melds (Pong or Chi), or revealing your own melds to reduce your hand's point value. Unlike Mahjong, Seven Bridges features a smaller hand (7 cards) and fewer meld types, making it readily accessible to newcomers. The game's scoring system is based on the remaining cards in opponents' hands, adding a strategic layer of risk management. The balance between revealing melds to mitigate risk and concealing them to avoid tagging creates engaging gameplay suitable for families and friends of all ages.
