Game Goal

The goal of Euchre is to score to a pre-set game limit before the other team does. Most Euchre games typically go to 10, though the limits 5 and 7 can also be used. This game set the limit to 10.

Hand Scoring

Each deal has 5 total tricks.

Whoever decides trump must make at least 3 tricks or else they are set. Scores are as follows based on how many tricks are won by the team which made trump.

Make Trump	Alone?	Less Than 3	3 or 4	5
yes	no	2 for opponent	1	2
yes	yes	2 for opponent	1	4

Winning Tricks

Players must follow the suit led unless they do not have any of that suit in their hand.

Whatever suit is trump beats any card which is not trump.

Card Order

For suits which are not trump (and are not the color of trump) the order is Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9.
For suits which are not trump (but are the same color as trump) the order is Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9.
For suits which are trump the order is Jack, other Jack of same color, Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9.

Dealer

In this game the dealer has the word Team near them. When the dealer deals the hand there are 4 cards left over with one of them face up. That last card is something any player can order the dealer to add to their hand as part of the trump suit.

If nobody orders up the dealer then players can choose trump starting with the player to the dealer's left.

If nobody chooses a trump the hand is redealt with the same dealer dealing again.

Strategy

Euchre is a far more complex game than it seems given how few cards there are. Here are a number of rule of thumb tips.

If a Jack is showing never order it up to your partner unless your score is within 2 points of winning because if they have a strong hand they may want to go alone.
In most cases you can figure your partner should be good for at least 1 trick unless they are the one who made it, then they should be good for at least 2.
Aces are usually good for a trick, especially if you can take the lead.
If your partner makes trump & you have a low trump in your hand it often makes sense to lead it in order to drive the trump out of your opponent's hands.

Difference Between American & British Euchre

In British Euchre the Joker is in the deck. A Joker trumps all other cards.
