About the game

What is Bridge City Poker?

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
