The software allows users to play trump cards and win tricks to benefit their team.
If you enjoy playing trick-taking games, you'll want to check out Aim for 501 Points and the Trophies! This game is perfect for four players, and uses 32 cards - all 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 cards are removed from a standard deck of playing cards. The game is played in two partnerships, with two players sitting opposite each other.
The main objective of the game is to reach a score of 501 points before the other team does so. Points can be earned by winning tricks. At the start of each round, a dealer is randomly selected. The player on the right of the dealer becomes the dealer in the next round.
Each player starts the game with 3 cards, followed by an additional 2 cards. Once every player has 5 cards, the dealer will place a face-up card in the middle of the table. The player on the right of the dealer then has the option to choose that suit as the trump and become the taker, or to pass.
If everyone passes during the first round, the player on the right of the dealer can select any suit as the trump, or pass again. As soon as a player chooses a trump, the bidding phase will end. If all players pass during the second round, the game will be forfeited.
During the bidding phase, the player who chooses the trump must take the card on the table and will be dealt 2 extra cards. The remaining players are each dealt 3 extra cards. Once the bidding phase is complete, the dealer will lead the first trick by playing any card. The other players must play cards of the same suit if possible, or play a trump if they don't have any cards of the leading suit.
Aim for 501 Points and the Trophies! offers a fun, competitive game experience that is great for parties and gatherings with friends. The rules are easy to follow, but the gameplay is challenging and strategic. Give it a try and see if you have what it takes to win!
