500 is an exciting card game that combines elements of trick-taking and strategic bidding. Here’s how to play:
- Setup: Use a standard 52-card deck plus a joker. Each player gets 10 cards; the remaining cards form the kitty.
- Bidding: Players bid on how many tricks they will take, starting at six tricks (120 points) and going up.
- Playing: The highest bidder picks a trump suit, reveals the kitty, and discards an equal number of cards. Players must follow suit if possible. The aim is to win as many tricks as stated in the bid.
- Scoring: Points are awarded based on the bid and tricks taken. The first to 500 points wins.
Remember to strategize your bids and plays! Enjoy mastering the 500 card game.
