Five Hundred rules at a glance
Five Hundred is a four-player partnership trick-taking game played with a 43-card pack. The joker and the jacks of the trump color are the top cards, which makes the bidding and the first trick feel different from a standard deck game.
Players bid for the right to name trump. The high bidder becomes the declarer, and their partnership tries to make the contract. If the contract fails, the declaring side is set back; if it succeeds, the partnership scores for the hand. The first partnership to reach 500 points wins.
- Four players in two partnerships, sitting opposite each other.
- Bid for the right to name trump and set the contract.
- The joker and bowers are the top trumps.
- Follow suit when you can; otherwise play any card.
- Score for made contracts and race the other partnership to 500.
