Card game that supports bridge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pontoon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'card game' is the first definition.
(pontoon is a card game)

'supports bridge' is the second definition.
'pontoon' can be an answer for 'bridge' (pontoon is a type of bridge). I'm not sure about the 'supports' bit.

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pontoon that I've seen before include "Flat-bottomed boat supporting bridge" , "Gambling game" , "Card game - type of bridge" , "Floating bridge support" , "Vingt-et-un" .)
