Bridgette (game)
Bridgette is a two-player bridge game that has been popular since 1970. It features a 55-card deck: the regular pack of 52 cards plus three extra cards called "colons". These special cards separate the pack into three groups: aces (A) with the grand colon (represented by ••), picture cards (JQK) with the royal colon (represented by •º), and spot cards (2—10) with the common colon (represented by ºº). On an opponent's lead, the colon from the corresponding group may be played instead of following suit. The colon so played loses, but forces the opponent to lead one of the other three suits to the next trick. The colons' skill is quite subtle and the addition of these cards makes up for there being only two cards to a trick, instead of four cards as in the game of standard bridge. According to an article in the July 1970 issue of the magazine ''The Bridge World'' (pp. 14–16), Bridgette was invented by Joel D. Gaines, a teacher at Punahou School in Honolulu. The ...
