last visit: 17.02.07 		I was looking for the euchre rules through ask jeeves and got directed here! What a great site for a cousin jack!
We all played euchre incessantly durring our last couple of years at school. I guess the first ones to start heading for the pubs picked it up and brought it back. At official (+ unofficial breaks,) there would be 1/2 doz differant games going on.
We used the 2 spades as the Benny and the 7 and 8 cards were used as the scoring cards. 7 face down on top of the 8, uncovering the pips as the points accumulated. once past 7 points, the 7 was turned face up. So a game was 15 points.
the game is fast and furious especialy once everyone knows whats going on. As one lad once remarked, 'At least if you've got a crap hand - it's soon gone.'
I currently re-enact American Civil War and as the game is authentic for that era - in fact was very popular, I thought I would remind myself how it was played and introduce it to the boys. As I hav'nt played it for over 30 years I thought I'd better do a rules search, trouble is like most things cornish... the rules vary!!

last visit: 08.11.07 		My favorite on line game. I play a online card site in tournament (all free) and play against other online persons. If anyone is interested in a great on line site that still host many card and board games I would be happy to tell you the sites address if you email me as I don't think it would be appreciated if I put the address out publicly as it might be considered advertizing (not sure the rule for that here). But the site I am talking about is a well known name of playing cards (hint) and the site is free and open 24 hours and all year. I bet some of the Euchre hosts might have some history on the game but it looks like the history posted by kneehigh to a grasshooper sums it up very nicely. See ya at the tables.
