ALL ABOUT EUCHRE
THE RULES OF EUCHRE Euchre is usually a four player game or two in partnership. A twenty four card deck is normally used. IE: nines to aces.
Some variations of the game use a thirty two card deck by adding the 7's and 8's. British Euchre employs a twenty five card deck with the addition of a joker. The object of the game is to be the first partnership to reach at least ten points. VALUE OF CARDS Aces are high and nines are low with two notable exceptions. The Jack of the trump suit becomes" right bower," and the most important or valuable card. The other Jack of the same color becomes the "left bower," and hence the 2nd most valuable card. Both bowers are part of the trump suit. EG: If diamonds are the trump suit then the Jack of diamonds becomes the right bower, the most powerful card in the game, and the Jack of hearts becomes the left bower, the 2nd most powerful card. The third most powerful card is then the ace of diamonds followed by the king etc. |
