Description
Card game Five Hundred was invented in US in the early 1900s. As its predecessor Euchre, it modifies trump suit by using special cards (Joker, Right and Left Bowers), while at the same time involves a bidding system similar to the one used in Bridge and provides a kitty for the contractor to exchange unwanted cards. The game is especially popular in Australia, where it is has become the national card game.Though 500 is often viewed as a partnership game for 4 or 6 players, it was originally designed as an individual 3-player game, and, according to card game experts, the game is most exciting in this form, where each player can demonstrate their analytical skills to the full.
This application implements a three-player version of game 500 with one human and two computer players. Since, to our best knowledge, the game has no official rules, while various sources provide different, often controversial descriptions of the game, the application allows to modify game rules to suit your expectations. These modifications affect scoring system, presence of Joker, conditions of own overbid, limitations on bidding Misère (Nullo) and leading with Joker in a non-trump game, style (or absence) of All-Pass games etc.
In addition to rule modifications 500+ allows to set up appearance of the game (e.g. background image, style of face cards, picture of card back), customize sound effects, and specify play list for custom background music.
Three skills of computer players are provided. The development is strictly based on the principle of computer honesty: a computer player never has access to disallowed information, like seeing other players' cards (apart from contractor's cards in Open Misère), content of the kitty or discarded cards. At the same time the application provides some "cheat" options, making it unnecessary for the human player to memorize cards that went out of play, or remember which suit a particular player failed to follow.
500+ keeps local score tables for each computer skill, and features a variety of achievements. It also allows to publish scores and achievements online using Google Play Services v 8.4.87+.
For those who are new to the game, the application offers a detailed description of game rules. Other information pages are included, like rule modifications (tweaks) and settings, control, logic of computer players, etc
The application is designed to adapt to any version of Android. 'Vintage' release, available for Android pre 4.0, is free of advertising, but also does not support global tables.

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.
