G4A: Euchre
- Smooth gameplay
- Excellent AI
- Duplicate play mode (compare your results with others)
Euchre is a card game that is popular in a large portion of the English speaking world. Games4All offers you the North American variant, which is the most widely played.
Euchre is a trick-taking game for four players in fixed partnerships, with partners sitting opposite from each other.
Each player is dealt 5 cards from a deck consisting of 24 cards: 9, ten, jack, queen, king, ace from each of the four suits.
The trump suit has 7 cards, from high to low:
- Right Bower: the jack of the trump suit
- Left Bower: the other jack of the same color as the trump suit
- Ace
- King
- Queen
- Ten
- Nine
The other suits have 6 or 5 cards: Ace, King, Queen, (Jack), Ten, Nine.
After the deal one of the remaining cards is turned face up. This up-card is used in the first round where each player is turn is offered the suit of the up-card as trump beginning with the player after the dealer. If a player accepts, that player becomes the leader and the up-card is given to the dealer. The dealer must then discard one of his cards and play begins.
If a player rejects the trump suit, the next player is given a chance. When all four players reject the trump suit, the up-card is removed from the game and the first player is allowed to select a trump suit from the remaining suits.If that player passes, the next player may select a trump suit. If all four player pass the game ends in a tie. the dealer is allowed to select one of the remaining three suits as trump.
Before play commences, the leader may choose to "go alone". This means his partner will not participate in this hand, effectively making this a three-player hand.
The player to the left of the leader leads the first trick. Any card may be led and each player in clockwise order must follow suit if possible. A player who cannot follow suit may play any card.
The winner of the trick is the player who played the highest trump card, or the highest card of the suit led if no trump was played. The left bower is considered to belong to the trump suit for all intents and purposes.The winner of the previous trick leads the next trick.
Scoring:
- If the leader plays alone and wins 5 tricks the lead team scores 4 points.
- If the lead team wins 5 tricks without playing alone they score 2 points.
- If the lead team wins 3 or 4 tricks they score 1 point.
- Otherwise the lead team is euchred and the defenders score 2 points.
The first team to score 10 points wins the match.

Good Euchre Game. Ads are infrequent and fast.
Ok..is there a game that does t cheat. I have played euchre for years in person. Never have lost this much... seriously
Fun game despite occasional errors on the computer strategy
Hi ! A 32 card deck ( 7 up instead of 9 up) would be so much better... + thanks for comment invite... I hope you read mine + have interest ... Perhaps make new version.
Love this game♡♡♡
I have had this for two years now and still like it. It plays slowly for me and shows me what is trump. But I don't like how it always has the same computer player being the first to start each game. Plus sometimes it has my computer partner trump the ace I've already played that would be our trick. I wish it would just let you pla the next game without giving me my saved history and data of the games I've played. But since I've had it for two years, I like the game for the most part. It's relaxing and fun.
I've just had the SAME hand dealt for the 4th time!! Also when I lead a winning trump, my partner over trumps and then leads back a losing card!! Come on G4A, SORT IT OUT. This could be one of the best games out there, but it's let down by silly faults!!
A very nice Euchre app. Fun game to play anytime.
Why am I always the guy next to the dealer on starting a new game? Should be able to cut for deal.
Overall this is fun
Don't even mess with the horribly broken, frustrating, pale immitations of Euchre unless you like getting set hand after hand by random play of drunken partner. The others could not be worse if they programmed intentional misplays. I don't even think other programmers know how this game is played!
I've been playing Euchre for a long time, in this app your partner almost always orders you up and gets euchered most of the time. Please give the mary a better brain and also an option to name players. Also adding in "screw the dealer" or "3 deep" would be great.
I really like seeing how I match up with other players. I just hate how poorly my partner plays.
It's not too bad. What I dislike the most is straining my eyes to see what suit the cards are. It is not clear. It looks like they've tried but it is still an epic fail
Best free offline Euchre app I have tried. Computer usually makes the correct play, although occasionally it makes you shake your head. Computer rarely makes dumb trump suit call to get set.
Good app but my computer partner seems to make really bad decisions sometimes.
Great game. I'm obsessed but it feels rigged sometimes
When I am the dealer my partner always has me pick up the show card. Regardless if she has any trump or not. We get set often due to her losing her mind. Please fix this bug.
I have played several eucre games and this one is fairer than the others. I actually win as much as I lose.
Fluid gameplay but lousy AI. Partner calls trump on weak hands and trumps your ace. Also, apparently no easy way to exit the app?
partner constantly calls trump it doesnt have.
Play is very slow. No options.
I love this game. No one in Tucson knows how to play in person. Is a great game!
The AIs are limited, but it's challenging and fun. Stable on my galaxy s4.
Fun game much better with updates.
Addictive! But the game favors itself when it's on the ropes. Other'n that, a fine game indeed!!!
Fun game and AI plays consistently
The user interface is great, very smooth and simple. The computer play is acceptable with some glitches. The app has an original online mode that lets you compare your score with other players that played the same hand. It would be even better if you could see the actual bidding and cards played by the other players! All in all very well done with room for improvement.
I purchased add removal and hints unlocked. I still get adds and I don't get hints. Google play says I own both items. Help!
Whoever designed this game, doesn't have a clue how the game is played! Just so you know, you NEVER over Trump your partner's tricks!! Have you EVER heard the word "etiquette"? Playing the way this game has been programmed will have experienced Euchre players UNINSTALLING this shameful creation. Like I'm about to do! PATHETIC
