Card ClubHow to play Euchre
Euchre uses a 24-card deck (9 through Ace) and two teams of two. Each player gets five cards and one card is turned up. Going around the table, players may order up that suit as trump or pass; if everyone passes, players may name another suit. Card Club plays "stick the dealer", so the dealer must choose if everyone passes twice.
The Jack of trump (the right bower) is the highest card and the other Jack of the same color (the left bower) is next.
Scoring

- Going alone and taking all 5: 4 points.
- Callers take fewer than 3 – they are euchred and the other team scores 2.
- First team to 10 wins.
Frequently asked questions
Can I go alone?
Yes. When you order up or name trump, choose "Go Alone" – your partner sits out and a sweep is worth 4 points.
Is Card Club free?
Yes. Play in your browser for free – no download, no account and no sign-up.
Who am I playing against?
Friendly computer opponents with their own personalities. Choose Easy, Normal or Hard. On Hard the computer thinks ahead by simulating many possible deals.
