Australian 500 Pack          By Queen's Slipper

English courts with 11's and 12's added to each suit, and 13's to red suits.
Total 62 cards + 1 Joker in the form of a Kookaburra

These cards have been specially designed for the Australian "500" Card Game. The game was devised around the turn of the century as a cross between Euchre and Bid Whist. Although invented in the USA, it never withstood the competition of its contemporary Auction Bridge and soon died out everywhere except in Australia.
Five Hundred involves tricks and bidding. It can be played by 2 - 6 players.
4 people play with 43 cards, 5 with 53 and 6 with 63. So it is only in 6-hand games that the extended pack of 62 cards and Joker is required.

I was given this deck from a friend in Melbourne, but it is available from R Somerville of Edinburgh.
