Bridge Night is Back!

Out of the Box Publishing introduces ABRIDGED® - A refreshing new take on the classic game of bridge

Richland Center, Wisconsin – Out of the Box Publishing is proud to announce the release of ABRIDGED. This brilliant new card game plays just like the classic game of bridge, but without the complex bidding.

As most of us know, “Bridge Night” – one of the country’s most popular pastimes – has faded from the suburban landscape. This popular card game for partners appears to be the victim of its own success. The sophistication of modern bidding methods has made the learning curve of bridge too steep for all but the most dedicated of players.

With Abridged, new players can now learn the game in minutes, instead of days.

"The ABRIDGED system makes it easy for people to start playing together," says Mark Osterhaus, Out of the Box Publishing President. "We invite couples to revisit the fun of an evening with friends or family…..Bridge Night is back!”

ABRIDGED is for 4 players, ages 12 to adult. ABRIDGED is available at specialty retailers – at a suggested retail of $14.99.
