Thank you so much for making this video. I used to play Euchre with my grad school friends every weekend (15 years ago) and I'd completely forgotten how to play since then.
You’re very welcome. We all call them clubs, yet it’s a semantic relic, since the French turned the clubs suit into clovers several hundred years ago. I’m just doing my pointless part to be accurate 😂
In your game play sequence a partner ordering up trump without having a "natural" (same suit) trump would be considered a re-nag, in some parts of the country. I have seen a few arguments break out mid game due to different regional rules. Euchre is best played with people you like!
Seems like an interesting game, like Bridge but simpler and maybe more exciting. Also a lot like Tarot/Tarock. Can highly recommend a French Tarot video as another commenter suggested! I've had fun getting into it and there's a good mobile app available for practice.
I did try Euchre before, but I didn't understand the point system so i passed 😩 thanks to this video it helps me to understand the rules 👍❤️ currently i am into Scopa, the game is easy to understand but is quite challenging and interesting. Thank you for recommending Scopa for me 🤗✌️ you are great 👍👍👍♠️♥️♣️♦️
Just found your channel, love the rules explanations and deck reviews! You clearly have a passion for Italian playing cards - any plans or interest in showcasing decks from other regions? Does anywhere else in the world *have* such a rich variety of playing cards?
Thank you! I’m working on a video about Japanese cards which have a great history. In terms of still in print regional variants, no place compares to Italy. I hope to cover tarot card variants this coming fall.
This is spooky: I quite nearly recommended euchre for you to do a video on as it felt like you were running out of games 😅. Any how, I don’t believe you’ve made videos on *French Tarot* (easily my preferred trick taking game (also see FFT - Fédération Française de Tarot)), *500* (another trick taking game, perhaps too similar to euchre) or *100* , a simple game for kids or the inane. Thanks for the video, I’d been planning to learn euchre for quite some time now.
My family usually plays dump the dealer where the dealer must call trump the second time around. Its also a good way to learn how to play out more mediocre hands.
I think if the defenders win all 5 tricks they get 4 points. I think that's missing from the scoring slide. I got into Euchre half a year ago through a local meetup group and now it's one of my favorite card games! Great video!
Agreed it’s a great social game. I’m aware of the 4pt defender sweep variant, however to keep the video to the basics I left out house rules and stuck to the most official and established sources which don’t include that house rule. But if you enjoy playing that way, don’t stop, and thanks for sharing it here. It’s a good reward for strong Defenders!
Thank you so much I have a tournament tomorrow and I was very unprepared until watching this video, this is my third one and honestly the most helpful thank you
I don't get the "I care" comment. Speaking of dealing I have a question. I looked up the rules to euchre according to hoyle and it says nothing about how one is to deal. Here is the reason I ask this question. I play once a week and there is this one lady who insists that everyone deals like you presented: 2 cards each followed by three cards each. Well, sometimes I like to deal 2-2-1. She has a fit and wants to call a miss deal. My dad was a very good card player referencing many different card games (euchre not one of them). He always said unless the official rules of the game indicate a specific way to deal the cards then the dealer can choose how to deal so long as everyone gets the correct number of cards in their hand. Would you care to comment?
Thanks for the comment. In fact the earliest versions of Euchres rules instruct the cards are dealt in packets of 2/3, likely another nod to its German origins. Your friend is correct in principle but sounds inflexible in the nitty gritty. As long as you have fun playing with her otherwise it seems worth sticking to the rules.

Happy to help, enjoy playing!
Thanks. Just the refresher I needed. You caught me off guard with "clovers" though. We call them clubs. Much appreciated.

Good advice and that rule makes sense. Absolutely always play with good people and agreed upon rules!

We do a re-deal on Farmer's Hands, but I like the going under thing.
My family usually plays dump the dealer where the dealer must call trump the second time around. Its also a good way to learn how to play out more mediocre hands.
That’s a great variation!
We call it "screw the dealer".
I think if the defenders win all 5 tricks they get 4 points. I think that's missing from the scoring slide.

Real men play stick the dealer.
And also no "going under" that rule is for kids learning the game
other than that, decent teaching of the bare basics of euchre.
Scoring system is confusing
Sometimes cute's not. 😮💨
