Euchre is a four-player partnership card game that uses a 24-card deck (Ace down through 9 in all suits). The cards rank normally, except for the trump suit, which ranks as follows: Jack (highest, known as "right bower"), Jack of the same color ("left bower"), Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9.

Each player receives five cards, and one is turned up as a proposed trump suit. Starting with the dealer's left, each player in turn may either agree to the turned-up suit as trump ("ordering up") or pass. If a player orders up, the dealer must pick up the turn-up and discard a card from his hand. Some play that if the dealer's partner orders up, he (dealer's partner) must play alone.

If no player orders up, the turn-up is turned face down, and each player in turn gets an opportunity to either name a different trump suit or pass. If all players pass this second round, the hand is thrown in and redealt. (In the popular "stick the dealer" variant, the dealer may NOT pass the second round, but must name a trump suit if no one else does.

The player who either orders up or names a trump suit is known as the "maker", and must take at least three of the hand's five tricks to score. Before the first card is led, the maker decides whether or not to play alone. If the maker plays alone, his partner does not participate in the hand.

The player to the dealer's left leads to the first trick. You must follow suit if you can, and the winner of each trick leads to the next.

SCORING: If the maker's side wins three or four tricks, his side receives one point. If maker and his partner together take all five tricks, this is known as a "march", and they score two points. If the maker plays alone and marches, his side gets four points. If the maker's side fails to take three tricks, they are said to be "euchred", and their opponents score two points.

Game is usually 10 points, but may vary.
