Popular Classic Card Game: Seven Bridges
Overview:
This app lets you play the Japanese card game, "Seven Bridges," a blend of Rummy and Mahjong. The goal is to quickly discard your hand by:
- Creating Melds: Forming melds of same-number combinations (groups) or sequential number combinations (sequences) of the same suit, then placing them face-up.
- Tagging Melds: Utilizing other players' discarded cards to create melds (Pong or Chi) or tagging existing melds.
Unlike Mahjong, Seven Bridges simplifies gameplay with only 7 cards per hand and 2 meld types, making it beginner-friendly. Points are calculated from remaining hands at the end of a round. Revealing melds reduces your score, but also makes them vulnerable to tagging by opponents. Strategic melding is key – balancing risk reduction with preventing your melds from being tagged. It's a fun, classic card game perfect for families and friends of all ages.
