Popular Classic Card Game: Seven Bridges

Overview:

Seven Bridges is a Japanese card game blending elements of Rummy and Mahjong. The objective is to be the first player to empty their hand by forming melds (combinations of cards of the same rank or consecutive rank and suit) and utilizing opponent's discards (Pong and Chi). Unlike Mahjong, Seven Bridges features only seven cards per hand and simpler meld types, making it beginner-friendly. Points are tallied from remaining cards in opponents' hands at the end of a round. Strategic melding is key, balancing the risk of revealing valuable melds with the benefit of reducing your score. This classic card game provides engaging entertainment for families and friends of all ages.
