How to Play Euchre

  • CheckmarkEuchre is a trick-taking game for four players in two partnerships (partners usually sit across from each other). Use one column per partnership.
  • CheckmarkEach deal, players bid for trump. House rules differ on ordering, stick-the-dealer and whether the dealer must accept the up-card — agree before you score.
  • CheckmarkPick how many tricks are played this hand: 5 for the usual 24-card deck (five cards each), 7 for 28 cards, 8 for 32 cards, or 9 for longer-hand variants.
  • CheckmarkSet “Makers” to yes for the partnership that called trump, and no for the defenders. Makers score 1 point for winning the minimum majority of tricks, 2 points for taking every trick, or 4 points for taking every trick while going alone.
  • CheckmarkIf the defenders take a majority of tricks, the makers are Euchred and the defenders score 2 points.
  • CheckmarkSet “Went alone” to yes on the makers’ column only. Defenders should leave it set to no.

Tips & Strategy for playing Euchre

  • CheckmarkAgree which deck size and ordering rules you use before the first hand so the tricks-in-hand and trump fields stay consistent.
  • CheckmarkFor each hand, mark exactly one partnership as makers and enter trick totals that add up to the number of tricks selected for that hand.
  • CheckmarkWhen you are makers, leading trump early often pulls opponents’ stopper cards and protects your partner’s winners.
