Euchre is played by two partnerships with a 24-card deck — 9 through Ace. Each hand is five tricks. Write which suit was trump, tick which side made it, and record the points. Traditional Euchre is scored with the pips of two spare cards, but a written sheet is far easier to audit, and it lets you keep the trump and alone columns as a record of the game.
| Result | Points |
|---|---|
| Makers take 3 or 4 tricks | 1 |
| Makers take all 5 (a march) | 2 |
| Makers take 3 or 4 while going alone | 1 |
| Makers take all 5 while going alone | 4 |
| Makers take fewer than 3 — euchred | 2 to the defenders |
First partnership to 10 wins. Note that going alone only pays extra for a clean sweep — three or four tricks alone still scores a single point.
Trump does not rank normally. The right bower is the jack of the trump suit and is the highest card in the game. The left bower is the other jack of the same colour, and for that hand it becomes a trump card — it is second highest, and it is no longer a member of its printed suit. If spades are trump, the jack of clubs is a spade.
After the two bowers, trump runs A, K, Q, 10, 9. Every other suit ranks normally: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9.
How many points do you need to win Euchre? 10.
What is the highest card in Euchre? The right bower — the jack of trump.
What does euchred mean? The side that named trump took fewer than three tricks, so the other side scores 2.
How many points for going alone? 4, but only for taking all five tricks.
