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. 

Two Difficulty Modes

• Normal: Suitable for those starting out, wanting to learn the game rules or experiment with strategies. Bots will sometimes make bad plays. Your bot teammate has a slight logic enhancement when it is dealer. Player 2 on the other bot team plays like a novice. 

• Hard: Bots remember cards played in previous tricks & use sophisticated logic to determine trump & card play selection.

• NOTE: bots never know what is in another player or bot's hand & will always follow suit when possible!

Friendly For New Players!

Card Power Styling

• Cards will glow blue if their suit is trump.

• Left Bower will glow purple.

• Right Bower will glow gold.

Always Follow Suit

The game will never let you play a card that doesn't follow suit! (unless you have no cards that can follow suit)

Single-Player Only

Your teammate won't yell at you!

Rules

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.
