How it plays

Euchre in three steps.

  1. Only the nines up to aces are used, each player gets five cards, and the top card of the four left over is turned face up.

  2. Players order up the turned card as trump or pass, then a second round lets each player name any other suit.

  3. Take three or four tricks for one point or all five for two, and the first side to ten points wins.
