Its Soop: /* Standard 4 player rules */

== Standard 4 player rules ==
Euchre is a fast-paced trick-taking game played with 4 players in two fixed partnerships (partners sit across from each other).

In every hand, one team chooses a "Trump" suit (the power suit). That team becomes the '''Makers''' and must win at least '''3 out of 5 tricks'''. The other team acts as the '''Defenders''' trying to stop them.

=== Card Rank ===
A 24-card deck is used (9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace). In non-trump suits, the Ace is high.

'''The Exception (The Bauers):'''

When a suit is named Trump, the ranking changes. The Jacks of that color become the two most powerful cards.

* '''Right Bauer:''' The Jack of the Trump suit (The very best card).
* '''Left Bauer:''' The Jack of the ''other suit of the same color''. (This card is now considered a Trump card, not its original suit).

'''Example:''' If '''Hearts''' (♥) are Trump, the rank is:

# '''Right Bauer''' (♥ Jack)
# '''Left Bauer''' (♦ Jack) — ''Treat this exactly like a Heart.''
# '''Ace''' (♥)
# '''King''' (♥)
# '''Queen''' (♥)
# '''10''' (♥)
# '''9''' (♥)

=== Making Trump ===
After 5 cards are dealt to each player, the Dealer flips the top card of the remaining deck face-up. Players then have two chances to decide the Trump suit.

'''Round 1 (The Face-Up Suit)'''

Going clockwise from the dealer's left, players can either Pass or "Order Up":

* '''Order Up:''' If a player says "Pick it up," the suit of the face-up card becomes Trump. The Dealer ''must'' pick that card up and discard one card from their hand.
* '''Pass:''' If all 3 players and the Dealer pass, the face-up card is turned face-down.

'''Round 2 (Any Other Suit)'''

If everyone passed in Round 1, players go around again. They can call any suit as Trump except the one that was just turned down.

* '''Stick the Dealer:''' If everyone passes a second time, the Dealer is forced to call a Trump suit.

'''Going Alone:'''

If you have a very strong hand, you can announce you are "Going Alone." Your partner places their cards face-down and sits out. You must try to win all 5 tricks by yourself for bonus points.

=== Gameplay ===

# 1. The player to the Dealer's left leads the first card.
# 2. '''The Golden Rule:''' You must '''follow suit''' if you have it. ''Note:'' If the Trump is Hearts, the Jack of Diamonds is a Heart. You ''must'' play it if Hearts are led and you have no other Hearts.
# 3. If you cannot follow suit, you may play any card (a Trump card to win, or a junk card to discard).
# 4. '''Winning the Trick:''' The highest Trump played wins. If no Trump was played, the highest card of the ''suit led'' wins.
# 5. The winner of the trick leads the next one.

=== Scoring ===
The team that chose Trump (The Makers) must win at least 3 tricks.

* '''Makers win 3 or 4 tricks:''' 1 Point.
* '''Makers win all 5 tricks:''' 2 Points.
* '''Makers fail ("Euchred"):''' If the Makers get fewer than 3 tricks, the Defenders get 2 Points.
* '''Loner Hand:'''
** If a player goes "Alone" and wins all 5 tricks: '''4 Points'''.
** If they win 3 or 4: '''1 Point'''.
** If they fail: Defenders get '''2 Points'''.

==Variants ==

These are optional rules you can toggle on or off:

* '''Stick the Dealer:''' (Default: On) Forces the dealer to pick a suit if everyone passes twice. This keeps the game moving so hands are never re-dealt.
* '''No-trump call:''' Allows players to call "No Trump" in Round 2. Aces are high, and there are no Bauers (Jacks are just Jacks).
* '''Loner starts last:''' If a player goes alone, the Defender to their left leads the first card (even if the Loner would normally have the lead).
* '''Canadian Loner:''' The Dealer's partner is restricted: they cannot "Order Up" the face-up card unless they also choose to go alone.
* '''Lone Defender:''' Allows a Defender to say "I'll defend alone." If they stop the Makers, they get 4 points instead of 2.
* '''Benny:''' Adds a Joker to the deck. The Joker becomes the highest Trump card (above the Right Bauer) and is considered part of the Trump suit.

** If they fail: Defenders get '''2 Points'''.

==Variants ==

These are optional rules you can toggle on or off:

* '''Stick the Dealer:''' (Default: On) Forces the dealer to pick a suit if everyone passes twice. This keeps the game moving so hands are never re-dealt.
* '''No-trump call:''' Allows players to call "No Trump" in Round 2. Aces are high, and there are no Bauers (Jacks are just Jacks).
* '''Loner starts last:''' If a player goes alone, the Defender to their left leads the first card (even if the Loner would normally have the lead).
* '''Canadian Loner:''' The Dealer's partner is restricted: they cannot "Order Up" the face-up card unless they also choose to go alone.
* '''Lone Defender:''' Allows a Defender to say "I'll defend alone." If they stop the Makers, they get 4 points instead of 2.
* '''Benny:''' Adds a Joker to the deck. The Joker becomes the highest Trump card (above the Right Bauer) and is considered part of the Trump suit.

Its Soop: /* Making Trump */

== Standard 4 player rules ==
Euchre is a fast-paced trick-taking game played with 4 players in two fixed partnerships (partners sit across from each other).

In every hand, one team chooses a "Trump" suit (the power suit). That team becomes the '''Makers''' and must win at least '''3 out of 5 tricks'''. The other team acts as the '''Defenders''' trying to stop them.

=== Card Rank ===
A 24-card deck is used (9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace). In non-trump suits, the Ace is high.

'''The Exception (The Bauers):'''

When a suit is named Trump, the ranking changes. The Jacks of that color become the two most powerful cards.

* '''Right Bauer:''' The Jack of the Trump suit (The very best card).
* '''Left Bauer:''' The Jack of the ''other suit of the same color''. (This card is now considered a Trump card, not its original suit).
'''Example:''' If '''Hearts''' (♥) are Trump, the rank is:

'''Example:''' If '''Hearts''' (♥) are Trump, the rank is:

# '''Right Bauer''' (♥ Jack)
# '''Left Bauer''' (♦ Jack) — ''Treat this exactly like a Heart.''
# '''Ace''' (♥)
# '''King''' (♥)
# '''Queen''' (♥)
# '''10 / 9''' (♥)

=== Making Trump ===
After 5 cards are dealt to each player, the Dealer flips the top card of the remaining deck face-up. Players then have two chances to decide the Trump suit.
Round 1 (The Face-Up Suit)
'''Round 1 (The Face-Up Suit)'''

'''Round 1 (The Face-Up Suit)'''

Going clockwise from the dealer's left, players can either Pass or "Order Up":

* '''Order Up:''' If a player says "Pick it up," the suit of the face-up card becomes Trump. The Dealer ''must'' pick that card up and discard one card from their hand.
* '''Pass:''' If all 3 players and the Dealer pass, the face-up card is turned face-down.

'''Round 2 (Any Other Suit)'''

If everyone passed in Round 1, players go around again. They can call any suit as Trump except the one that was just turned down.

* '''Stick the Dealer:''' If everyone passes a second time, the Dealer is forced to call a Trump suit.

'''Going Alone:'''

If you have a very strong hand, you can announce you are "Going Alone." Your partner places their cards face-down and sits out. You must try to win all 5 tricks by yourself for bonus points.

=== Gameplay ===

# The player to the Dealer's left leads the first card.
# '''The Golden Rule:''' You must '''follow suit''' if you have it.
#* ''Critical Note:'' If the Trump is Hearts, the Jack of Diamonds is a Heart. You ''must'' play it if Hearts are led and you have no other Hearts.
# If you cannot follow suit, you may play any card (a Trump card to win, or a junk card to discard).
# '''Winning the Trick:''' The highest Trump played wins. If no Trump was played, the highest card of the ''suit led'' wins.
# The winner of the trick leads the next one.

=== Scoring ===
The team that chose Trump (The Makers) must win at least 3 tricks.

* '''Makers win 3 or 4 tricks:''' 1 Point.
* '''Makers win all 5 tricks:''' 2 Points.
* '''Makers fail ("Euchred"):''' If the Makers get fewer than 3 tricks, the Defenders get 2 Points.
* '''Loner Hand:'''
** If a player goes "Alone" and wins all 5 tricks: '''4 Points'''.
** If they win 3 or 4: '''1 Point'''.
** If they fail: Defenders get '''2 Points'''.
