If you are looking for a new card game to try, why not take a cue from Australia? Five Hundred is their national card game. If you are fond of trick-taking games like contract whist, you want something a little more in-depth but are not quite ready to jump feet-first into the world of bridge, Five Hundred could be exactly what you have been looking for.
Five Hundred is so called because it is a race to 500 points to be declared winner. The game is a variation of Euchre with the following differences: Players are dealt 10 cards instead of five, Trump is chosen by the player who contracts for the highest number of tricks, The pack is adjusted such that all cards are dealt to players with three left for the kitty, Additional packs of cards can be used to accommodate large groups of players.
