About the game

What you do in a play session

500 is a classic and engaging card game that uses a traditional deck, but with some variations depending on the number of players. The goal is to bid to win tricks, working in teams if playing with 4 or 6 people. Each player is dealt 10 cards, and the challenge is to predict how many tricks you will win, using strategy and a bit of luck. The game includes a joker and variations in the deck for different player counts, which adds layers of complexity and fun. A special move called 'nulot' allows a player to try not to win any tricks, while their partner sits out the round. It's a game that mixes strategy, prediction, and teamwork, perfect for those who enjoy mental challenges and social interaction.
