    We used to play this game when I was in the military and you really had to watch guys that played as a team REAL close. They'd send subtle signs on what to bid like rubbing a ring for (Diamonds) scratching or tapping their chest for (Hearts) small pat on head for (Clubs) or scratching their arm for (Spades). You really had to watch your opponents and call them out for it if you caught them. It was a game in itself just trying to get an edge.

    Great video, we play a variation which is dealt a round of 2 cards,1 middle, round of 3, 1 middle, round of 2, 1 middle and finally round of 3. we also use one red 4 hearts and one black 4 clubs which change suits to the same color bid. the heart becomes a diamond or the club becomes a spade.

      dealing does not change the variance of the cards, if shuffled correctly they're randomised either way

  • @brandonl4432

    Every player is dealt ten cards, so when each player plays one card, that is a trick. There are ten tricks.
    The team that won the bid, chose a suit and a number. The suit in the bid is the trump. The trump always wins the trick (the hand). Jack’s of the same colored suit as the trump (spades with clubs, diamonds with hearts) are considered trumps as well. The jokers just win against everything. The number in the bid is an estimation of the amount of tricks to win. The score of the game is based on this number estimate, along with the suit, and looking at a scorecard can be helpful.
    Hopefully this helped some of you out, as I kept asking my family what these terms meant and they could not explain, then I went to watch this video, and the video did not explain either. Needless to say I was very frustrated.

    My dad and uncle (I'll call him fred) used to play this when they were young, their dad taught them. As they got older, they each had a best mate that would come over and they would play 4 or 6 handed (sometimes nan and pop played, nan was hopeless while pop was the best at it, so they still made a good team) As I was growing up, my dad and uncle fred taught my brother and I how to play, so everytime we all gathered, we'd play (because I would pester everyone haha) My dad's best friend (uncle sam I'll call him) never wanted to play, so for a long time, never got to see how good he was, one day, I was at Uncle sam's house with my dad and my other uncle (on my mum's side I'll him Uncle bob) and asked if everyone wanted to play 500.....Uncle Sam FINALLY SAID YES and I got to team with him, we mopped the floor against my dad and uncle bob.
    On Uncle Fred's death bed my parents and their best friends (Uncle Sam and his wife) and I visited him, my uncle Fred wanted to play one last game, so we did. When my parents were going through his things, dad found the joker hidden in a compartment of the card case. My dad said to me "Even in death he was still cheating" We had a laugh and told Uncle Sam who roared with laughter, he was upset about it quite a bit, so good to see him laugh.
    Uncle Fred was shifty when it came to games and pool/billiards. Dad and Uncle Fred told me a lot of stories about the old days haha, good memories. Even though he's passed, I'll always have the memory of him and dad teaching me how to play this great game.

    Disagree with your first play, 6 of hearts. You should lead the Jack of hearts to force out the joker, which was not called.
    (If the jack of hearts was not trumped by the joker on the first play - you could assume that your partner had the joker).
    A very good tutorial for beginners
    Dah...............Just found another bad play. Player C could have won the first play with the Queen of hearts??????? and not use the joker.

      You need an extended deck to play with six players-specifically, a 63-card deck with 11s and 12s of each suit in addition to the regular 52 cards and Joker. The Joker is optional in all variations; without the Joker, only two cards are dealt to the kitty. Players play in two teams of three, playing alternately with their opponents.

      @danielebrparish4271 Рік тому +1

      It is a very complex game to learn unless you are a Bridge player. Watch some other videos on 500 and learn more. The first thing to learn is the removal of the cards from the deck. Most card games, poker for instance, use a 52 card deck. 500 is played with a joker. 4 players get 10 cards each and the "widow/middle" requires 3 cards. That requires the removal of 10 cards from the deck. The ten cards to be removed are all four of the 2s and 3s and the two black 4s. That is how you create a 43 card deck. The way the cards are dealt is unimportant. People like to use the cards dealt to the "Widow" as a marker to help them keep track of where they are in the deal in case they are interrupted. Therefore everyone can see how many rounds have been dealt. My family has been enjoying this game for right at a century and we have never dealt it according to the card game bible known as Hoyle's Book of Card Games, but our deal is nearly the same. We deal each player a set of 3 cards then we put a card in the widow. Then every player is dealt 3 cards after which another card is added to the widow. A last round of 3 cards per player is dealt and a final card is put in the widow. There should be four cards left which are dealt out as a single card to each player. This last round of the deal will indicate to the dealer that the cards have been dealt properly because anything other than exactly four cards in the final deal means that there is a card on the floor that was left out or that someone received 11 instead of 10 cards. In the latter case the dealer asks everyone to count their cards. The dealer can either collect all the cards to deal them again or if no one objects the player who is short a card can pick a card at random from that player's hand. It's unimportant which way the error is handled.
