The 500 Card Game is the greatest card game ever devised (arguably). It is most popular in Australia, New Zealand, parts of America, and Canada. Download the software that allows you to play against the computer here. Being so wide spread, there are very many local house rules. The current version includes options to play with most of these. It also supports most non-standard screen resolutions.
The latest addition to the range is a new Windows version. The 32 bit WINDOWS version is tailored specifically for Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT/XP/Vista, is more reliable on later Windows operating systems, and has more features.
People who do not enjoy 500 will certainly enjoy the BRIDGE card game or EUCHRE or CANASTA or WHIST or one of the eleven games contained within the RUMMY family of games. All of these card games are also available from this site. These games are played in far more locations world wide than 500, and their fans are more fanatical. All of these games are enjoyable and contain a different balance of skill and luck. The Bridge game is designed for both beginners and experts, and has many tuition features which may be turned off for the expert. It has a real time explanation of what bids mean as well as an extensive help file.
RUMMY contains classic Rummy games, such as GIN RUMMY, 500 RUMMY, PINOCHLE RUMMY, KALUKI, OKLAHOMA GIN, MICHIGAN RUMMY.
EUCHRE and the latest addition to this card game range, CANASTA, have customisable settings so that they are a challenge to new and experienced players.
WHIST contains both the standard Whist game, and also Knock Out Whist.
All the games of 500 , Bridge , Euchre , Canasta , Whist and Rummy are recognised as being the best collection in their class.
