1. Euchre

   Euchre or eucre () is a trick-taking card game commonly played in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Great Britain, and the United States. It is played with a deck of 24, 28, or 32 standard playing cards. Normally there are four players, two on each team, although there are variations for two to nine players. Euchre emerged in the United States in the early 19th century and, while there several theories for its origin, the most likely is that it derives from an old Alsatian game called Jucker. Euchre was subsequently responsible for introducing the joker into the modern deck of cards, first appearing in Euchre packs in the 1850s.

1. euchre

   Euchre is a trick-taking card game usually played by four people in two partnerships with a deck of 24, 28 or sometimes 32 cards. It is believed to be closely related to the French game, Écarté, which was popularized in the United States by the Pennsylvania Dutch, and to the seventeenth-century game of bad repute, Loo. The goal of the game is to be the first partnership to score at least 10 points.

1. Euchre

   Euchre or eucre is a trick-taking card game most commonly played with four people in two partnerships with a deck of 24, or sometimes 32, standard playing cards. It is the game responsible for introducing the joker into modern packs; this was invented around 1860 to act as a top trump or best bower. It is believed to be closely related to the French game Écarté that was popularized in the United States by the Cornish and Pennsylvania Dutch, and to the seventeenth-century game of bad repute Loo. It may be sometimes referred to as Knock Euchre to distinguish it from Bid Euchre.

   Card games like these are very similar to developing a Final Four bracket or $5 poker night with friends, the Indiana Gaming Commission uses a common sense litmus test and did not, and never had, any plans to take enforcement action against this euchre club.
