Here’s a snapshot of what’s been happening since we launched. Nothing fancy — just honest numbers from a site built for people who like card games.
Average game duration: 32.9 minutes. Long enough to be interesting, short enough to squeeze in during a lunch break or while waiting for your kopi to cool down.
We support several game modes. Here’s how the games break down:

Floating Bridge is the most popular by a wide margin — no surprise there. It’s the game most Singaporeans grew up with. Big Two is a close second, especially during lunch hours and late nights. The Mahjong modes are newer and still growing.
Not sure which mode to try? Here’s a quick rundown.
The game that started this whole site. Four players, 13 cards each, one auction winner who picks a secret partner by calling a card. It’s basically Contract Bridge with a twist — you don’t know who’s on your team. My parents have been playing this at the void deck for thirty years. Learn the rules or read the strategy guide.
The classic four-player partnership game played worldwide. Fixed partnerships (North-South vs East-West), dummy hand on the table, and a deep bidding system. If you want the version that’s played in tournaments and at the World Bridge Federation level, this is it. Learn the rules.
Singapore’s other favourite card game. Everyone gets 13 cards, play in singles, pairs, or five-card combos, first to empty their hand wins. The 2 of Spades is king. Simple to pick up but there’s real depth in the endgame tactics. Learn the rules or check out the strategy guide. If you’re curious about the history, the Wikipedia article on Big Two is pretty good.
Tile-based, four-player, and deeply ingrained in Singaporean culture. We support both Singapore-style scoring and Hong Kong Old Style rules. If you’ve played at a round table during Chinese New Year with the clacking of tiles and someone’s grandmother shouting “pong!”, you know the vibe. Learn more about Mahjong on Wikipedia.
When I first built floatingbridge.xyz, it was just for my parents and a few of their friends. My dad kept complaining that every Bridge app was too complicated or needed a Facebook login. My mum just wanted bigger buttons. So I built something simple — no accounts, no downloads, works on the phone her nephew set up.
Somehow it grew. First it was the uncles and aunties in our HDB block. Then their friends in other estates. Then NS mates who remembered playing Big Two during bunk time and wanted a quick game during lunch. We’re not a huge platform and we probably never will be — we’re a card table, not a casino.
