MAC 500

This is a computer version of the popular card game Five Hundred (a simple bidding game in which jacks and jokers are added to the trump suit). Play with a computer partner against two computer opponents. Choose amongst popular variations of the rules of 500 (set 45 or 43 card deck and number of bidding rounds).

A history is kept of games and bids won and lost. Suggested bids and plays can be shown. This is a great starter game for kids to try out trump play and bidding, before getting into the complexity of Bridge. It has nice graphics and animations. I especially liked the large card size.
