A team trick-taking game with a shortened deck: name the trump, hunt down the jack "bower" and win tricks in pairs.
You can learn the rules in a couple of minutes. Just 4 steps and you're ready for your first hand.
Four players use 24 cards, pair against pair. Everyone is dealt five cards.
Looking at the top card of the kitty, players decide whether to accept its suit as trump or call a different one.
Remember: the jack of trump is the highest card, and the jack of the same color becomes the second-strongest trump.
Take 3+ of the 5 tricks and you score; fail your call and the opponents collect for the "euchre." Play to 10.
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.
