I played many times in 501 and in 1000 (Thousand)


The variant of 1000 (Тысяча) which I played is described here:

I only played the version of 1000 for 2 players (so without a widow but with a pack and with marriage changing the trump suit) and 501 for 3 or 4 players

501 is quite similar to 1000, the differences are described here:

To me 501 is as interesting as Преферанс, but with much easier rules. Although I played Преферанс several times I forgot the most of the rules by now.

I also played of course in Durak (which everybody knows how to play as opposed to 501 or Преферанс) and in Веришь-не веришь.
