Tally500

Tally 500 is a fast way to score your 500 games with your friends. Keep track of games, scores and winners

Tally 500 is a fast, no-nonsense scorer for the card game 500. Pick the bid, say whether it was made, and the arithmetic is done for you.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Set up your teams. Two partnerships for a four player game, or three or five players each keeping their own score.
2. Tap a team to record their bid. The whole Avondale table sits on one screen, from 6 Spades up to 10 No Trumps, plus Misère and Open Misère.
3. Tap Won or Lost, confirm the tricks, and every score updates itself.

SCORING DONE PROPERLY

Tally 500 uses the standard Avondale schedule, so the numbers match the ones you already play by.

• 6 Spades 40, all the way up to 10 No Trumps 520 • Misère 250, Open Misère 500 • Defenders score 10 per trick, switchable on or off for each game • Taking all ten tricks pays 250, even on a small bid • First to 500 wins, or set the target to 1000 for a longer night

BUILT FOR REAL GAMES

• 3, 4 or 5 players • Name your teams or your players • Two games on the go at once, so the kids' game and the grown ups' game can run side by side • A full hand history: every bid, who called it, whether they made it, and where the points went • Undo the last hand, swipe an old one away, or reset the score • Your player count and scoring options are remembered for next time

WHEN SOMEONE WINS

Confetti, and a summary of how the game actually went. Who bid the most. Who had the best bid to win ratio. Who cleaned up defending. The biggest contract anyone brought home. And whether someone kept going back to a favourite suit.
