Description
500 is a popular bid and trick taking card game originating from the USA played by four players in teams of two, with partners sitting opposite each other. It is especially popular in Australia and New Zealand. The game is called 500 because the objective of the game is to be the first team to reach 500 points.Player bid on how many tricks they can take based upon the hand dealt to them and the highest bid gets the chance to win the hand and the points.
In this version you have a computer partner playing against two computer opponents. The characteristics of your partner can be configured to suit your style of play. Your partner can be an aggressive bidder, moderate or conservative, as your desire.
Other options include
- NEW!!! Ability to REVIEW the previous hand, kitty and bids made
- Ability to tailor the playing of Misere
- Ability to tailor the rules according to local preferences
- Large Card display for smaller screens
- Ability to control game speed
- Ability to turn on/off game sounds
- Option to play 3 or 5 card kitty
Here are some tips on playing the game...
- Don't forget that when there is a trump suit, the highest trump is the joker , followed by the jack of the trump suit (right bower), the other jack of the same colour (left bower), then Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9, etc. down to 5 or 4.Therefore, if say, hearts are trumps, then the jack of diamonds in considered to be a heart for that hand. If diamonds are trumps, the jack of hearts becomes a diamond, conversely. This does not apply for a No Trumps or Misere Bid, naturally.
- The minimum number of tricks that can be bid is six. If you bid say "six hearts", you are saying that with your partner's help, you will try to win at least six tricks with hearts as trumps. How many hearts say would you need to feel confident of making a six hearts bid? There are plenty of thoughts about the bidding process available online, and you need to take the strength of your offsuit into account, ie. do you have many aces?, but as a general guide, perhaps 4 hearts would be a good start.
- If you win the bid, you get to pick up kitty, and need to discard any 3 (or 5) cards from the 13 available to you. As a guide, it is often a good idea to try to rid yourself of an offsuit of which you have no high cards, so that if that suit is led by the opposition during the hand, you are in a position to trump them if required.
- During play, if you are trying to make a bid, it is often a good idea to try to extract trumps from the opposition early in the hand, so that when it comes to playing your offsuit later, they are not in a position to trump your aces. But if you are trying to stop a bid being made, it is also a good idea to not lead trumps back to the opposition if you can help it, try to keep the precious trumps for trumping offsuit.
- When you can't follow the suit that was led, are you aren't looking to trump, you are said to be discarding. You should try to discard a low card from your strongest offsuit first, and your partner will pick up on this and believe that this suit is perhaps the best to lead to you later.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★AI is generally pretty fair. ..most of the time
5 ★This app is by far the best when it comes to the game 500. I don't know why people don't give it a higher rating or why it doesn't have a higher rating, but it indeed is the only app out there with so many different options. It is the only app which has options for Misere. It allows you to call Misere at any time if you choose, or you can choose the option that will not allow you to call Misere if somebody makes a 7 book bid. Also has the option to bid even if you pass the first time.
1 ★Zero AI .. instead devs opted for GS (Genuine Stupidity). If the computer opponent ever entered a 'real world' tournament, it would be shot by it's partner straight through the hard drive.Any resulting jail time would be far less frustrating. As for the online play .. it does not exist so save your money and your freedom!
1 ★The computer should deal a little more evenly. We pay for this app. I cannot adjust anything, no settings. Have not won a game. Crap.
2 ★The computer often sluffs and than later plays that suit.
3 ★The partner often loses for you. Cheats in mosair
5 ★I had problems with the app, the operator worked with me until fixed. He just sent an update. The best!
5 ★Decent game mechanics, regular updates, better than anything else at the moment.
2 ★Reduced from 5 stars to 2. After last update it was great, but maybe it realized I was having too much fun. Now it's rare to have anything but junk in your hand, just like before the update. Just plain depressing.
4 ★The game is great, the partners are very intelligent but if you're gonna make a "very fast" playing mode, make it fast! I shouldn't wait 3 seconds between hands in the fastest mode. Would give 5 stars if it were fixed.
2 ★played this game for 50 years. partner plays so foolish it takes pleaure of game totaly away. other aspects totally wrong.
4 ★I really enjoy playing but the computer sabotages your hand so often. Can't configure the mode. Should have from beginner medium to advanced.
