How to Play 500 Cards

500 is a trick-taking card game played with a 43-card deck. Players bid on how many tricks their team will win, with the highest bid determining the trump suit. The goal is to score points by winning tricks that contain valuable cards.

Cards 500 Rules

• Deck: Uses a 43-card deck (standard deck minus 2s and 3s, plus one joker).
• Bidding: Players bid to declare how many tricks their team will win and the trump suit or whether the hand will be played with no trump.
• Gameplay: Players play one card at a time, with the highest card in the lead suit or the trump suit winning the trick.
• Scoring: Points are scored based on the value of the cards won in tricks. The team that meets or exceeds their bid first wins.
