About Grandpa's Euchre
Grandpa's Euchre
NO TABLE TALK!!!!!!
This is the card game version of Euchre that my Grandpa taught me. I grew up in Illinois and we played this at every family gathering.
Setup & Dealing
The Deck:
•
24 cards (9 through Ace)
The Deal:
•
Deal 5 cards to each player. Flip the top card of the remaining deck face up.
Rotation:
•
The dealer role rotates clockwise.
Making Trump
Ordering Up:
•
Starting left of the dealer, players may pass or choose the flipped card's suit as trump.
•
If chosen, the dealer adds the card to their hand and discards one.
Stick the Dealer:
•
If everyone passes, the face-up card is turned over, and a second round begins where players can name any other suit as trump. If everyone passes again, the dealer must name a suit.
Going Alone:
•
Any player who names trump can choose to "go alone." Their partner sits out the round.
Gameplay
The Bowers:
•
The Jack of the trump suit is the Right Bower (highest card). The other Jack of the same color is the Left Bower (second-highest card and counts as trump).
The Lead:
•
The player to the dealer’s left leads the first trick.
Following Suit:
•
Players must follow the led suit if possible. If they cannot, they may play any card. Highest card of the led suit (or highest trump) wins the trick.
