EuchreTrick-taking card game
Euchre or eucre (/ˈjuːkər/) is a trick-taking card game commonly played in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand and the Midwestern United States. It is played with a deck of 24, 28, or 32 standard playing cards. wikipedia.org
- The objective of Euchre is to be the first player or team to reach a predetermined number of points by winning tricks. Players aim to win tricks containing valuable cards while following suit, and the team that declares the trump suit seeks to earn at least as many tricks as they bid.
- Highest to lowest: Right Bower (the Jack of the trump suit), Left Bower (the Jack of the same color as the trump suit), Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9 (with all other cards holding no rank value)
- Euchre emerged in the United States in the early 19th century. While there are several theories regarding its origin, the most likely is that it derives from an old Alsatian game called Jucker. Euchre was subsequently responsible for introducing the joker into the modern deck of cards, first appearing in Euchre packs in the 1850s.
