About this game

FIVE HUNDRED is a well loved card game with a myriad of local house rules (some are accommodated here via the set up menu). The object of the game is to collect 500 points and avoid collecting -500 points. The game is played in teams with you and your partner (player 2) playing against players 1 & 3. Cards are ranked in order of Ace down to 5 in the black suits and 4 in the red suits, except in the suit that has been designated the TRUMP suit for that hand, in which the order is - Joker, right bower (the Jack of the trump suit ), left bower (the Jack of the other suit of the same colour), Ace, King, etc.
