500 or Five Hundred, also called Bid Euchre is a trick-taking game that is an extension of Euchre with some ideas from bridge. It can be played by two to six players, is most commonly played by four, in partnerships, and has also been recommended as a good three-player game. It arose in America before 1900 and was promoted by the US Playing Card Company, who copyrighted and marketed the rules in 1904. 500 is a social card game and was highly popular in the United States until around 1920 when first auction bridge and then contract bridge drove it from favour. It continues to be popular in Ohio and Pennsylvania, where it has been taught through six generations community-wide, and in other countries: Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Shetland. Despite its American origin, 500 is the national card game of Australia.
