Learn and play the classic trick-taking card game.
Euchre is a 4-player, 2-team trick-taking card game. You partner with the simulated player across from you against two simulated opponents.
24 cards are used: 9, 10, J, Q, K, A in all four suits.
Non-trump suits rank: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9 — but note the same-color Jack is removed from its suit when it becomes the Left Bower.
Each player receives 5 cards. The top card of the remaining 4 (the kitty) is turned face up to propose trump.
Round 1: Starting with the player left of the dealer, each player may order it up (making the face-up card's suit trump and the dealer picks it up) or pass.
Round 2: If all pass, each player may name any other suit as trump, or pass. The dealer must name a suit (Stick the Dealer rule).
The team that names trump is the maker and must win at least 3 of 5 tricks.
After naming trump, the maker can go alone — their partner sits out. Winning all 5 tricks alone scores 4 points.
You must follow the led suit if you can. Trump beats all non-trump. The Left Bower belongs to the trump suit for following-suit purposes.
