What is Euchre?

Euchre is a fast-paced, four-player trick-taking card game played in teams of two, commonly using a 24-card deck (9s through Aces). Players aim to win the majority of five tricks per hand after designating a trump suit. The first team to reach 10 points wins the game.

How to Play

• Each player is dealt five cards.
• The top card is turned face-up to suggest trump.
• Players may order up the dealer or pass.
• If all pass, players may name a different trump suit.
• The player left of the dealer leads the first trick.
• Players must follow suit if possible.
• The highest trump or highest led suit wins the trick.
• Makers score 1 point for 3–4 tricks.
• Makers score 2 points for all 5 tricks.
• If makers fail, defenders score 2 points (euchre).
