The rules of the game: 500 is a game of trump tricks played with 4 players in two teams of 2. The partners sit opposite each other. A 43-card deck is used (a 52-card deck, plus a joker, from which the black 2s, 3s and two 4s are removed).

The order of the cards in trump is as follows:

Joker

Jack of Trump, called Right Bower

Jack of the suit close to the trump suit (example: Clubs if the trump is Spades), called Left Bower

Trumps: Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9.

Other cards: Ace, King, Queen, Jack (if not Left Bower), 10, 9

Without trump, the joker is considered a trump, and wins the trick where it is played, no matter what

Theme: Holiday memories and traditions, past and present

Winter is just around the corner, and with it the holiday season. For some, it's a sign of rejoicing, while for others it can mean boredom, melancholy, anxiety and more.

Together, we'll revisit our memories and traditions of the holiday season, from yesterday to today. We'll also explore concrete ways to take care of ourselves and live a beautiful holiday season in our own image. This is a rendez-vous not to be missed, as there will also be music and a surprise. I invite you to wear red or green for the occasion.

One Friday a month, our afternoon talks provide an opportunity to discuss a different theme at each meeting, in a warm, welcoming, safe and friendly environment.

We look forward to hearing from you!
