Bridging craze?

There is something called Singaporean bridge... the one students like to play..but no kick...

A quote from the website

Ethics and scoring
Singaporean bridge is by and large a social game with less formal (albeit interesting) rules. Players simply voice their bids, and talking during games is allowed in a general sense.
There is no official point-scoring system since the partners are not fixed; that is to say too that the concept of over-tricks and doubling do not apply at all. The 'winner' is simply determined by which the player and its partner has won the most hands against the other pair of players. However, some players prefer to play in a fixed-partner format, hence whichever fixed pair wins most the hands, that pair is declared the winner. As such either system discourages over-offensive bidding or even pre-emptive bids. It may even be a good idea to simply to defend.

In short..the Singapore version = no challenge.

Of course, for more no kick but wants casual and fun, you can try "Hearts", which is found on most home PCs. Also, the other variation, German bridge is good:
