Euchre Game Rules:

1. First person to receive a black jack will be the starting dealer

2. Dealer will deal 5 cards to every person, starting with the person to the left. Dealer can do a deal of 3 then 2, or 2 then 3.

3. The four remaining cards after the deal will be put to the side, and the top card will be flipped face up.

4. Starting with the person to the left of the dealer and going clockwise, players can decide if they want the suit of the “up” card to be “Trump”, or if they want to pass.

5. If a player choses the suit of the “up” card to be “trump”, the dealer puts the “up” card into their hand and discards one of their other cards face down.

6. If every player passes, the dealer turns down the “up” card, and then the person to the left of the dealer can chose any suit to be “trump”, other than the suit of the “up” card. Players can also pass their choice to the next player.

7. “Stick the dealer”: if everyone passes, the dealer must pick the “trump” suit.

8. The person to the left of the dealer leads, playing one card at a time. Each round is called a “trick”.

9. The card led becomes the suit of that hand, and all players must follow suit. If a player cannot follow suit, that player may “trump” using a trump suit or play any other suit.

10. If no “trump” suits are played, the highest card of the led suit wins the “trick”. If “trump” suit is played, the highest “trump” card wins the “trick”.

11. If a player feels they have a strong hand and has a chance to call “trump”, they may announce that they are “going alone”. Their partner will forfeit their hand, and the player “going alone” will play by themselves against the two opponents.

12. The team that takes 3 out of 5 tricks wins the hand and will receive points:

    1. The team that declared “trump” gets 3 or 4 tricks = 1 point

    2. The team that declared “trump” gets 5 tricks = 2 points

    3. The team that did not declare “trump” gets 3, 4, or 5 tricks = “euchred” = 2 points

    4. If a person “goes alone” and gets all 5 tricks = 4 points

    5. If the opposing team “euchres” the person “going alone” = 2 points

13. First team to 10 points or more wins the game.
