Each player must take at least one trick or suffer a penalty. The player to dealer's left leads to the first trick. Players must follow suit if they can. A player who has no card of the suit led may play any card.
When there are trumps, the left bower the other jack of the same colour as trumps counts for all purposes as belonging to the trump suit. A trick is won by the best trump in it, or if no trumps are played, by the highest card of the suit led.
The winner of a trick leads to the next. Everyone starts with 25 points and the first player to reach or pass zero wins. At the end of the play, each player subtracts one point for each trick that they win, except that:. If anyone manages to take all five tricks, they immediately win the entire game. If this does not happen, more hands are played until someone reaches or passes zero. If two or more players get to or past zero on the same hand the player who goes furthest below zero wins.
If they have the same score, it is a tie. Jack Thomson describes a version of the above game in which no one may drop out for three consecutive hands. If you stay out for two consecutive hands, then on the next hand you must stay in and take a trick or suffer the penalty. If the turned card is not a club, there is a single round of bidding. Starting to the left of the dealer, each player bids the number of tricks they would be prepared to win if allowed to name trumps.
The minimum bid is one, and each player in turn must either bid higher than the highest bid so far or pass. After the bidding, the high bidder names trumps or specifies that there will be no trumps, and is allowed to take the turned up card and discard one card from hand face down. The bidder can exchange the up-card even if it is not a trump, and clubs can be called trump even if they are not turned up.
Starting to the left of the bidder, each of the other players chooses to stay in or drop out, and then the play and scoring proceed as in Buck Euchre described above.
It is possible to play Dirty Clubs with more than four people by adding extra low cards to the pack - eights, sevens and so on, as needed. In the three player Columbus version of Buck Euchre, four hands are still dealt, but no card is turned up. Three of the hands belong to the players and the fourth is a spare hand, called the widow.
Each player in turn, having looked at their own hand, has an opportunity to exchange it for the face-down widow, if no one else has already done so. The player to dealer's right has the first opportunity to exchange, then the dealer, and finally the player to dealer's left. Telling the dealer to pick up the card makes trump the suit displayed on that card.
You are now tasked with taking at least three of the five tricks available. Subsequent players will now have the option to either stay in or withdraw from the hand. Staying in means you must take at least one of the five tricks available. If no one elects to have the dealer pick up the card including the dealer himself , the top card is turned over and play continues as described in the following step. Call trump--starting with the person to the left of the dealer--when no one opts to have the dealer pick up the revealed card.
When a player calls trump, he must still take at least three of the five tricks available. Play a card from your hand. You must always follow suit unless you have none in your hand. In this case, you may either throw off or trump. The highest suited card wins the trick, with the exception of trumped tricks. For these tricks, highest trump card takes it. Subtract 1 point for each trick you take during the hand. When the dealer is told to pick up the card, he will swap it out for any card in his hand.

Euchre is an offshoot of Juckerspiel, a game that became widely popular throughout Europe during the Napoleonic era.
In the s, it became one of the most popular card games in America and Australia. Euchre and its variations is the reason why modern card decks were first packaged with jokers, a card originally designed to act as the right and left "bowers" high trumps. Although later eclipsed by Bridge as with so many other games of this type , Euchre is still well known in America and is an excellent social game.
The game is best for four participants, playing two against two as partners. Therefore, the rules for the four-hand version are given first. Special Euchre decks are available, or the standard card pack can be stripped to make a deck of 32 cards A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7 of each suit , 28 cards 7s omitted , or 24 cards 7s and 8s omitted.
In some games, a joker is added. The goal is to win at least three tricks. If the side that fixed the trump fails to get three tricks, it is said to be "euchred. The highest trump is the jack of the trump suit, called the "right bower. The remaining trumps, and also the plain suits, rank as follows: A high , K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7. If a joker has been added to the pack, it acts as the highest trump.
Partnership making trump wins 3 or 4 tricks — 1 point Partnership making trump wins 5 tricks — 2 points Lone hand wins 3 or 4 tricks — 1 point Lone hand wins 5 tricks — 4 points Partnership or lone hand is euchred, opponents score 2 points.
The first player or partnership to score 5, 7 or 10 points, as agreed beforehand, wins the game. In the 5-point game, a side is said to be "at the bridge" when it has scored 4 and the opponents have scored 2 or less.
An elegant and widespread method of keeping score is with cards lower than those used in play. When game is 5 points, each side uses a three-spot and a four-spot as markers. To indicate a score of 1, the four is placed face down on the three, with one pip left exposed.
For a score of 2, the three is placed face down on the four, with two pips left exposed. For a score of 3, the three is placed face up on the four. For a score of 4, the four is placed face up on the three.
Many Euchre games are scored by rubber points, as in Whist. The first side to win two games wins the rubber. Each game counts for the side winning; 3 rubber points if the losers' score in that game was 0 or fewer, 2 rubber points if the losers' score was 1 or 2, and 1 rubber point if the losers scored 3 or more.
The winners' margin in the rubber is 2 points bonus, plus the winners' rubber points, minus the losers' rubber points. From the shuffled pack spread face down, the players draw cards for partners and first deal. The two players with the two lowest cards play against the two players with the two highest cards. The player with the lowest card deals first. For drawing, the cards rank: K high , Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, A. Players drawing equal cards must draw again.
Partners sit opposite each other. The dealer has the right to shuffle last. The pack is cut by the player to the dealer's right. The cut must not leave less than four cards in each packet.
The cards are dealt clockwise, to the left, beginning with the player to the left of the dealer. Each player receives five cards. The dealer may give a round of three at a time, then a round of two at a time, or may give two, then three; but the dealer must adhere to whichever distribution plan he begins with. After the first deal, the deal passes to the player on the dealer's left. On completing the deal, the dealer places the rest of the pack in the center of the table and turns the top card face up.
Should the card turned up be accepted as trump by any player, the dealer has the right to exchange the turned up card for another card in their hand. In practice, the dealer does not take the turned up card into their hand, but leaves it on the pack until it is played; the dealer signifies this exchange by placing their discard face down underneath the pack.
Beginning with the player to the left of the dealer, each player passes or accepts the turn-up as trump. An opponent of the dealer accepts by saying "I order it up. The dealer signifies refusal of the turn-up by removing the card from the top and placing it face up partially underneath the pack; this is called "turning it down.
If all four players pass in the first round, each player in turn, starting with the player to the dealer's left, has the option of passing again or of naming the trump suit. The rejected suit may not be named. Declaring the other suit of the same color as the reject is called "making it next"; declaring a suit of opposite color is called "crossing it.
If all four players pass in the second round, the cards are gathered and shuffled, and the next dealer deals. Once the trump is fixed, either by acceptance of the turn-up or by the naming of another suit, the turn-up is rejected, the bidding ends and play begins.
If the player who fixes the trump suit believes it will be to their side's advantage to play without the help of their partner's cards, the player exercises this option by declaring "alone" distinctly at the time of making the trump.
