500+ (Five Hundred), 3 players, customized 1.5.2
Card game Five Hundred was invented in US in the early 1900s. Asits predecessor Euchre, it modifies trump suit by using specialcards (Joker, Right and Left Bowers), while at the same timeinvolves a bidding system similar to the one used in Bridge andprovides a kitty for the contractor to exchange unwanted cards. Thegame is especially popular in Australia, where it is has become thenational card game. Though 500 is often viewed as a partnershipgame for 4 or 6 players, it was originally designed as anindividual 3-player game, and, according to card game experts, thegame is most exciting in this form, where each player candemonstrate their analytical skills to the full. This applicationimplements a three-player version of game 500 with one human andtwo computer players. Since, to our best knowledge, the game has noofficial rules, while various sources provide different, oftencontroversial descriptions of the game, the application allows tomodify game rules to suit your expectations. These modificationsaffect scoring system, presence of Joker, conditions of ownoverbid, limitations on bidding Misère (Nullo) and leading withJoker in a non-trump game, style (or absence) of All-Pass gamesetc. In addition to rule modifications 500+ allows to set upappearance of the game (e.g. background image, style of face cards,picture of card back), customize sound effects, and specify playlist for custom background music. Three skills of computer playersare provided. The development is strictly based on the principle ofcomputer honesty: a computer player never has access to disallowedinformation, like seeing other players' cards (apart fromcontractor's cards in Open Misère), content of the kitty ordiscarded cards. At the same time the application provides some"cheat" options, making it unnecessary for the human player tomemorize cards that went out of play, or remember which suit aparticular player failed to follow. 500+ keeps local score tablesfor each computer skill, and features a variety of achievements. Italso allows to publish scores and achievements online using GooglePlay Services v 8.4.87+. For those who are new to the game, theapplication offers a detailed description of game rules. Otherinformation pages are included, like rule modifications (tweaks)and settings, control, logic of computer players, etc Theapplication is designed to adapt to any version of Android.'Vintage' release, available for Android pre 4.0, is free ofadvertising, but also does not support global tables.
