Do you know how to play Euchre? - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly_RJ · 05-18-2003, 02:23 PM

Euchre is a card game involving 4 players (2 teams of 2) or 6 players (2 teams of 3). The object of the game is to get as many points as possible by making "tricks".

It's pretty big in the mid-west, and I've seen quite a few people from Alberta in the game rooms, but outside of those regions, nobody knows what Euchre is. So I'm bored as fuck in San Diego without my Euchre (nobody knows how to play!), so I play on Yahoo! Games every now and then.

Anybody who know how to play up for a game or two later today? I'm always looking for new people to play with, might be kind of fun.

Don't know how to play it, I'm more of a canasta person myself, but if you're willing to teach, I'm willing to learn.

TheEnforcer · 05-18-2003, 02:45 PM

Oh hell yeah. Used to skip classes to play Euchere while going to school!!

Best non-gambling card game there is!!

I kick ass at Euchre. In fact, I am quite the card player all around.... never played online though. Is it fun?????

I should be embarrassed. I was in the Navy, for fuck's sake. Lots of folks in the Navy like to play Euchre, but Spades was more prevalent where I was stationed (32nd St, as a matter o fact.)

My grandmother (who raised me) taught me to play canasta, and no matter HOW fuckin many fives had been played, she always had another pair stashed someplace.

Daddy M (Grandpa Maynard, dear friend of the family) taught me to play pinocle. Isn't Euchre a relation of pinocle?

You're from Madison, so you might know of Dubuque, Iowa (my hometown), they have the same law. And you can bet your ass I was playing Euchre long before then.

GrimShawn · 05-18-2003, 04:19 PM

yeah man it's a great game, from Chicago myself it's huge in the midwest!!

Hit me up on icq later 139682480 always down for a good card game!!

There was a pretty good shareware verion of it. If you were agrressive you got the edge but I tend to think that is true of the real game too.

I do get down to Dubuque from time to time..they used to have the riverboat casino..fun times

Card playing must be a rite of passage in the midwest..my father had taught me early on..they needed a 4th...

I'm a Euchre freak.
Grew up on it.

I play on Yahoo everynight before bed.

Kimmykim · 05-18-2003, 08:25 PM

Is it related to spades? It basically sounds like the partners version... if so I'd be happy to give it a try --

AM Jeff · 05-18-2003, 09:49 PM

KK, something like Spades.

I'll play that with ya too sometime if you ever have some time on Yahoo.
