Abstract
A bridge bidding box is provided comprising two parts: a bottom and a top part. When the box is opened, the bottom part is removed and placed into a cut out area of the top part. The cut out area of the top part is angled so that when the bottom part is placed into this cut out area, the cards in the bottom part are automatically angled backwards, making it easier to see and remove the bid cards from the box. This configuration allows the entire box to lie flat on the table, providing stability and proper weight distribution. The bottom of the box is provided with non-skid gripping material, which prevents the box from moving or sliding on the table. When the base part is placed into the top part, the top part is at an angle and weight distribution that it is difficult to tip over the box.
