I realize there are many variations possible, so this might not be the exact way you're used to playing. There is no bidding in this version, so it's Knock Euchre, not Bid Euchre.
Euchre is a trick taking game with a trump, played by four players in teams of two. The basic play is similar to Whist, i. An important difference from Whist is that one of the teams names the trump and must then win the majority of the tricks in that hand. The game is played over several rounds until one team has gotten 10 points. Euchre uses a non standard deck of 24 cards. It's made up of the 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace of each suit.
Some variations also use the Joker, but this version does not. The initial dealer is chosen randomly, in the next round the player to the dealer's left is the new dealer and so on.
Five cards are dealt to each player in two rounds of dealing. Once all players have their cards, the top card of the deck is turned face up, so it's ready for the next part of the game, which is After the cards are dealt the players must pick what will be the trump suit. At this point there is one face up card on the table, the suit of that card is the potential trump suit. Going clockwise around the table, starting with the player to the dealer's left, each player can either say "Pass", meaning they don't want the suit to become trump, or they can say "Order it up" in which case the suit of the card becomes trump and the calling round ends immediately.
The face up card on the table goes to the dealer which takes it and discards one of the cards from his hand and then the game is ready to begin.
The team that picked the trump are known as the "Makers" and the other team are known as the "Defenders". If all players pass on the trump card then there's another round of naming trumps, where a player may simply name which suit he wants to be trump although he may not name the suit everyone just passed on , or say pass.
If the first three players pass on this round as well then the dealer is forced to name a trump. This is the "Stick the dealer" rule, which we added here on April 29th , after a lot of requests! In some variations of Euchre the dealer's partner can't name trump and play with a partner, he must play alone. We don't use that rule in this version though. The player who orders up trumps, or names trump, is allowed to play alone.
If a player chooses this his partner will put down his cards and not participate in the rest of that round. Playing alone can help you to score more points, more about that in the Scoring section below. Note: In previous versions of this game I used to allow every player to go alone. I've since changed that to only allow the player that names or orders up trumps to go alone, as that seems to be more in line with what people are used to doing.
The trump ranking in Euchre is quite different from most other trump taking games. The trump suit ranks higher than the other suits, but within the trump suit the Jack known as the Right Bower is the highest card.
Then, in a weird twist, the Jack in the other suit that's the same color as the trump is the next best trump card.
After that the rest of the trump cards follow in order from high to low, Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9. The Left Bower is considered for all purposes as a member of the trump suit.
Just to make it clearer, if trump suit was Hearts, the ranking of trump cards would be:. Play is like in most trick taking games. A player leads with a suit, other players must follow suit if they have it, but are otherwise free to play any card if they have nothing in the lead suit.
Cards are ranked from high to low, trump beats lead suit, lead suit beats other suits. The person who takes a trick leads in the next trick. Now remember that the team that picked trumps are the "Makers" and the other team is the "Defenders".
A team that wins 3 or more tricks wins the hand and gets points, the losing team gets no points. Then the dealer will deal each player a hand of 5 cards in batches of 3 and 2 cards.
Dealing is done clockwise. After dealing is done the remaining cards are placed in the center of the play area and the top card is revealed. If any player accepts this suit as trumps, then the dealer may exchange one card from their hand with the exposed trump.
Starting with the player left of the dealer each player may pass or accept the trump. If all 4 players pass then the revealed card is tucked under the deck and all players now have a chance to call a trump suit it cannot be the same suit as the rejected card. If all 4 players pass again the cards are gathered and the next dealer redeals. If after declaring trumps the player who declared feels they would have an easier time winning alone they may declare, going alone.
Their partner then lays their cards face down and does not participate in the round. If playing with a joker the ranking is Joker high , Jack of trumps also known as the right bower , Jack of the same color also known as the left bower , Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9, 8, and 7 low.
If no joker then the highest-ranking trump is the right bower. The following players must follow suit if able. Thank You, The Bicycle Team. This did not answer the question. If I have the jack of hearts and the rest are clubs and it is my turn to call trump can I call trump hearts? The rules do not explain this. Rhonda if you have a full hand of clubs best bet is to call clubs as Trump. But to answer your question you can call Trump whatever you want after the first round of Trump when the top card has been flipped over.
The game rules you referenced do not address this question. I have only played with that rule. You must have at least one trump in your hand to pick it up and the left bower does not count as trump. Interesting, I have never played that variation.
In the Wikipedia article on Euchre Variations, this rule for bidding is known as "No suit. I have a question. Can you open a round with a trump card? The dealer also takes the turned up card into his hand and discards one card. No, you are only required to follow suit.
The object of each hand is for you and your partner to win at least three tricks, and whether you lay a higher ranked card or not will depend on what strategy you believe will get your team those three tricks.
I will say though that this might make for a very interesting house rule! If a jack of clubs is face up on the pile, are you allowed to treat it as a spade when ordering it up? Or are Jacks fixed suit until the moment trump is chosen? Yes, I am from Canada and was introduced to Canadian Loner, which is when someone orders up trump to their partner, they must go alone. A variation I play is called Stick the Dealer, which is when the dealer must choose trump if another suit is not selected in the second round.
Hi, after recently purchasing the bicycle Euchre set and opening it I was wondering what the counter cards are used for. I find that this way makes it more fun and challenging.
There are a lot less 2 and 4 points therefore makes the game more interesting and competitive. That sounds like a really challenging way to play! There are many different house rules and versions that people play — it certainly makes the games interesting when people have different ways of playing.

The Pack Special Euchre decks are available, or the standard card pack can be stripped to make a deck of 32 cards A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7 of each suit , 28 cards 7s omitted , or 24 cards 7s and 8s omitted. Object of the Game The goal is to win at least three tricks.
Keeping Score with Low Card Markers An elegant and widespread method of keeping score is with cards lower than those used in play. Rubbers Many Euchre games are scored by rubber points, as in Whist. The Draw From the shuffled pack spread face down, the players draw cards for partners and first deal.
The Shuffle and Cut The dealer has the right to shuffle last. The Deal The cards are dealt clockwise, to the left, beginning with the player to the left of the dealer. Making the Trump Beginning with the player to the left of the dealer, each player passes or accepts the turn-up as trump.
Playing Alone If the player who fixes the trump suit believes it will be to their side's advantage to play without the help of their partner's cards, the player exercises this option by declaring "alone" distinctly at the time of making the trump. The Play The opening lead is made by the player to the dealer's left, or if this player's partner is playing alone, it is made by the player across from the dealer.
