How To Play Reverse Euchre
- First off, it is always better to get 1 pt then 2.
- So, let's say the upcard is a spade. If you know that you will euchre the other team if they choose spades, then you SHOULD order the upcard. That way you can hopefully give up at least one trick and get only 1 point instead of 2 for the euchre.
- Secondly: If your pard is going to take a trick, you should almost always trump that trick, because your team is already taking that trick, so you might as well get rid of some trump while doing so.
- The only reason not to trump your pard is if you only have one suit left and will most likely take the rest of the tricks.
- Thirdly, it's almost never good to pass if you have a natural trump in hand.
- The reason being, if the other team makes trump, you will most likely euchre them.
- Fourthly, if you are the dealer and are given or take the upcard, it is NOT always a good idea to discard trump
- For example: Let's say you have the Ace of Clubs, The King and 10 of hearts, the j of spades, and the 9 of Diamonds. The Ace of Diamonds is ordered up to you. The Best card to discard in this situation would be the Ace of Clubs. The Reason being is this: with the 9 of diamonds you are more likely to be able to get under the other team's trump, and having an off suit ace with no other cards in that suit normally means you will take that trick
A Quatrain by Stompy
The flow of cards from hand to hand,
voices im my head an attempt to plan,
Opponents manuver and put me on guard,
All of this in a game of cards.
