These are the rules used for this version of Euchre. I realize there are many variations possibleso this might not be the exact way you're used to playing. There is no bidding in this versionso it's Knock Euchrenot Bid Euchre.
Overview
Euchre is a trick taking game with a trumpplayed by four players in teams of two. The basic play is similar to Whisti.e. each player plays one cardthe highest card of the suit led wins the trickunless someone has played a card of the trump suit. 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.
Dealing
Euchre uses a non standard deck of 24 cards. It's made up of the 910JackQueenKing and Ace of each suit. Some variations also use the Jokerbut this version does not. The initial dealer is chosen randomlyin 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 cardsthe top card of the deck is turned face upso it's ready for the next part of the gamewhich is...
Naming Trump (Calling Round)
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 tablethe suit of that card is the potential trump suit. Going clockwise around the tablestarting with the player to the dealer's lefteach player can either say 'Pass'meaning they don't want the suit to become trumpor 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 trumpswhere 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' rulewhich we added here on April 29th 2020after a lot of requests! And nowe won't change it back ๐.
In some variations of Euchre the dealer's partner can't name trump and play with a partnerhe must play alone. We don't use that rule in this version though.
Going alone
The player who orders up trumpsor names trumpis 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 pointsmore 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 aloneas that seems to be more in line with what people are used to doing.
Ranking of trump cards
The trump ranking in Euchre is quite different from most other trump taking games. The trump suit ranks higher than the other suitsbut within the trump suit the Jack (known as the Right Bower) is the highest card. Thenin a weird twistthe Jack in the other suit that's the same color as the trump is the next best trump card. E.g. if spades are trump then the Jack of clubs would be the next best cardknown as the Left Bower). After that the rest of the trump cards follow in order from high to lowAceKingQueen109. The Left Bower is considered for all purposes as a member of the trump suit. Just to make it clearerif trump suit was Heartsthe ranking of trump cards would be:
Jack of Hearts (Right Bower)
Jack of Diamonds (Left Bower)
Ace of Hearts
King of Hearts
Queen of Hearts
10 of Hearts
9 of Hearts
Playing
Play is like in most trick taking games. A player leads with a suitother players must follow suit if they have itbut are otherwise free to play any card if they have nothing in the lead suit. Cards are ranked from high to lowtrump beats lead suitlead suit beats other suits. The person who takes a trick leads in the next trick.
Scoring
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 pointsthe losing team gets no points. Teams can also gain more points if the player who called trump goes alone. The scoring table is as follows:
Result

Defenders
Makers win 3 or 4 tricks.

Makers win 5 tricks.

UPDATE 2016-10-05: Previous versions of the game allowed any player to go alone. After endless emails and endless confusion about the scoring I've decided to change it to what most people wantwhich is that the player who calls trumps is the only one who can go alone.
Winning
A team wins once it has gotten 10 points. We used to have it that you had to win by at least two pointsbut we've removed that rule now.
This online version of the classic card game Euchre is the 13th weโve made here at Cardgames.io. We got many requests from users that liked Spades and Whist to add it. We have some extra twists in our version of the game. For instance you can play alone and we have a non-standard deck.
The game is made using html+JavaScript+css with jQuery used for the animations. All the graphics used for the game I found at OpenClipArta great site with free graphics. The excellent playing card images were made by Nicu Buculeiand the player images were made by Gerald G.
