Overview

In Bridge City Poker, players compete to get rid of the cards in their hands (or "shed") by playing different sets of cards (or “melds”) over a series of tricks before the deck runs out. Players will have to manage their ever-growing hands with game-breaking power cards. At the end of a round, players will burn a bridge (or “suit”) of choice completely from their hands. Finally, all players will score points based on their remaining cards and, after a set number of rounds, lowest score wins. —description from the publisher
