You can learn the rules in a couple of minutes. Just 4 steps and you're ready for your first hand.

01

Deck and teams

Four players use 24 cards, pair against pair. Everyone is dealt five cards.

02

Naming trump

Looking at the top card of the kitty, players decide whether to accept its suit as trump or call a different one.

03

The bowers

Remember: the jack of trump is the highest card, and the jack of the same color becomes the second-strongest trump.

04

Tricks and scoring

Take 3+ of the 5 tricks and you score; fail your call and the opponents collect for the "euchre." Play to 10.

About the game

Euchre is a fast Anglo-American trick-taking game for four players in two teams. It's played with a shortened deck, and the key cards are the trump jacks: the "right bower" (jack of trump) and the "left bower" (jack of the same color). The team that names trump commits to taking the majority of the five tricks, or they get "euchred" and penalized in points. A game runs to 10 points.
