Euchre

Euchre is a trick-taking game. Press the Play button to start the game (Fig. 1).

Five cards are dealt to each player. At the end of the deal, one card is turned over. The white frame on the scoreboard in the upper left indicates the dealer. The first bidding starts with the forehand and continues clockwise. When it is your turn, the Order and Pass buttons will appear (Fig. 2). If you press the Order button, the suit of the upcard becomes the trump suit. If you press the Pass button, your turn passes to the next player.

If all players pass, the second bidding begins. During the bidding, players can either choose the trump suit or pass (Fig. 3).

A player who makes a trump suit is called a maker. The white frame on the scoreboard indicates the maker. If a trump is made during the first bidding, the dealer can exchange the upcard with any other card in their hand. If you are the dealer, select one card and press the Discard button (Fig. 4).

Players are divided into two teams: north and south, and east and west. If you become a maker, the Play and Alone buttons will appear (Fig. 5). You can opt to play alone by pressing the Alone button.

The forehand leads a card at the opening lead. If "alone" is selected, the left player of a maker leads a card. Players follow cards in a clockwise direction. They must follow suit if possible. Otherwise, they may discard any card. On your turn, select one card from your hand and press the white frame (Fig. 6).

The player who leads or follows the highest card wins the trick. The card strength is as follows.

Table 1

	Rank (High→Low)
Trump	J > J (Left Bower) > A > K > Q > J > 10 > 9
Non-trump	A > K > Q > J > 10 > 9 > 8 > 7

The jack of trumps is called a right bower, while the jack of the same color as the trump is called a left bower. For example, if spades are the trump, the jack of clubs becomes the left bower. A trump card is stronger than a non-trump card. If a player follows the led card with a non-trump card, the player loses. Otherwise, the strength is as per Table 1.
The deal ends after five tricks, and the Score dialog is displayed (Fig. 7).

If makers win three or more tricks, they are awarded points. Otherwise, the defenders receive points (Table 2).

Table 1

Makers wins	Makers	Defenders
0-2 (euchre)		+2
3-4	+1
5 (march)	+2
5 (alone march)	+4

You can view a score sheet and trick history by pressing the buttons in the Score dialog (Fig. 8).

The score sheet can be accessed by pressing the scoreboard in the upper left (Fig. 9).

The game ends when a team reaches 10 points (Fig. 10).

There are several other variations: Two-Handed Euchre, Three-Handed Euchre, and Call-Ace Euchre (Fig. 11).

This variant is for two players. The basic rules are the same as Euchre.
This variant is for three players. The basic rules are the same as Euchre. There is one maker and two defenders.
This variant is for four players. After the bidding, the maker chooses a suit (Fig. 12). The player holding the ace of the chosen suit becomes the partner of the maker. If no one has the ace, the player with the highest-ranking card (e.g., K, Q, …) of the suit becomes the partner. If the maker has aces in the hand, they cannot choose the suits of the aces. Moreover, if the upcard is an ace, the suit of the ace cannot be chosen. If "alone" is selected, the maker plays without a partner.

The scoring method is the same as Euchre (Fig. 13).

When the "Ace No Face" option or "Farmer's Hand" option is enabled, players may have the opportunity to exchange cards. If you want to exchange cards in this case, select three cards and press the Exchange button (Fig. 14).
