What happens in the exchange-phase, if a player gets a suit he does not have? Granted this is not very likely, but also not impossible. Does he give back any (likely bad) card?

Actually it's quite likely that if a player were void in one suit that another player would try to trade cards of that suit, in which case that/those card/cards would simply be returned to their issuer instead of being exchanged. Glad you asked that question. I'm putting it in the article. – Morganfitzp 02:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rank of Cards

There's nothing stating the order of cards, apart from something about Ace being low in the exchange phase.

I'd presume it's Ace-high, two-low. There doesn't seem to be anything on the pagat page, although it's grouped with the Whist games, which have A K Q J 10 ... 2.

In Australia (where we are mad about 500 and Euchre), the usual order is Joker - Right-Bower - Left-Bower - A K Q 10 ... 2 for the trump suit, and Bridge order for off-suits. This game is more seen as a good three-hand version of 500 than a separate card game.

Is this rank-order worth including as a Variation? 106.69.215.147 (talk) 05:49, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Plucking

When I played this game in the 1970's the exchange of cards was called "plucking". Eric Myers 18:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric Myers (talk • contribs)
