Euchre is played with a deck of 24 standard playing cards. There are two teams of 2 players each.
When naming a suit (ordering up trump), a player states that their team intends to win the majority of tricks of the hand. A single point is scored when the bid is successful, and two points are scored if the team that declared trump (the bidding team) takes all five tricks. A failure of the bidding team to win three tricks is referred to as being "euchred", and that team is penalised by giving the opposing team two points.
A caller with very good cards can "go alone" (order up alone), in which case the caller tries to win the march without a partner. The partner of a caller in a lone hand does not play, and if the caller achieves the march (winning all 5 tricks), the winning partners score 4 points. If only three or four of the tricks are taken while going alone, then only one point is scored. If euchred while playing alone, the opposing team still only receives 2 points.
The primary rule to remember when playing Euchre is that one is never required to play the trump suit (unless that is the one that is led), but one is required to follow suit if possible.
