Description

[Edit] [History]

Five Hundred (500) is a simple trick taking card game that uses a standard deck of playing cards. Each player is dealt ten cards, and bids to take 6-10 tricks with the help of cards in the kitty. With 4 or 6, it's usually played in partnerships.

Two or three players use a 33 card deck with all 2-6's removed plus a Joker added. Four players use a 43 card deck with 2-4's removed plus the 4 of Hearts, 4 of Diamonds, and a Joker added. Five players use a 53 card deck with only a Joker added.

Six players need a special deck of 63 cards with 11's, and 12's in each suit and a 13 of Diamonds, a 13 of Hearts, and a Joker.
