Euchre is an offshoot of Juckerspiel, a game that became widely popular throughout Europe during the Napoleonic era. In the 1800s, it became one of the most popular card games in America and Australia. Euchre (and its variations) is the reason why modern card decks were first packaged with jokers, a card originally designed to act as the right and left 'bowers' (high trumps). Although later eclipsed by Bridge (as with so many other games of this type), Euchre is still well known in America and is an excellent social game.

Euchre belongs to the trick-taking category of card games. Each player is dealt an equal number of cards and players win a trick based on certain rules. Several different variants of the game are played worldwide, but the rules described below are of the most common game variant played. These rules are also known as North American Euchre.

Players

Euchre is played by 4 players, separated in 2 teams. Each player sits against his teammate.

Deck

24 cards from a standard French deck are used in Euchre, 6 cards from each suit – Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades.
The cards used are: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9.
Some variants and custom game rules use an extra joker card (25 card deck) or 7s and 8s (32 card deck).

Cards Strength

Cards strength for non-trump suits is as follows: A > K > Q > J > 10 > 9
Cards strength for trump suit is as follows: J > J(left) > A > K > Q > 10 > 9

The second strongest trump card – listed as J(left) – is the Jack from the suit with the same color as the trump suit. For example, if the trump suit is Spades, the Jack of Clubs (J left) is the second strongest trump card. During a hand, this card is considered part of the trump suit announced for the hand, and not part of the original suit.

The first dealer is chosen at random. The dealer deals 5 cards to each player in packs, first 3 and then 2, starting with the player on his left, and continuing in a clockwise direction. Betfair live casino app. In the following rounds, the dealer is changed in a clockwise direction.

After dealing 20 cards in total to the players, the dealer takes the top card from the remaining 4 and turns it face up, so that all players can see it. This ‘face-up’ card is used as a basis for the initial bidding part of the game.

When the dealing ends each player can see only the cards in his/her hand, plus the face-up card.

Bidding starts after all the cards are dealt and the top-card of the undealt four is placed. Players choose the contract based on the strength of their cards. The bidding process has two purposes:

Selecting the trump suit for the current hand.
Determining the Makers team that has to make 3 or more tricks.

The bidding process could have two phases, both starting from the forehand player (the one on the left of the dealer) and ending with the dealer:

First phase: each player should either pass or choose the suit of the face-up card to be trump. If all 4 players pass during the 1st phase, the bidding process continues with the 2nd phase.
Second phase: each player should either pass or choose a suit different than the one of the face-up card to be trump.

If a trump is chosen in the first phase, the dealer takes the face-up card in his hand and discards one card by his choosing, not showing it to the other players.

If all players pass during both phases the hand ends with no winner and scoring, and a new hand starts.

Going Alone

After the trump suit is selected – and before playing the cards – the player who announced can decide whether to play alone:

The announcer could do this when he thinks his/her cards are strong enough to win the hand without help from his/her partner.
The benefit of playing alone is that winning all 5 tricks leads to scoring 4 points instead of 2.
If the announcer goes alone, his/her partner puts the cards face down and does not participate anymore in the hand.

Who starts the hand?

The player who starts the first trick is determined as follows:

If no player is playing alone then the player to the dealer’s left plays first.
If one player is playing alone then the person to that player’s left plays first.
If two players are playing alone (possible in some variations of the game), then the defender plays first.

Next tricks are started by the player who won the previous trick.
