INTRODUCTION OF RAILROAD EUCHRE

Railroad Euchre is a mashup of many different ways to play.  The title will mean different things to different players depending on the region.  The instructions included below make just one version of Railroad Euchre.  Although this version follows the basic rules for Turn Up, the railroad rules can also be applied to Bid.

This variation of Euchre utilizes a Joker, 32 cards rather than 24, plays towards a larger end score, and allows for different rules regarding going alone.  The use of 32 cards allows for three teams to play at once.  This is Turn Up Euchre like you’ve never played before.

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

Although a 24 card deck (9’s – Aces) can be used, this particular variation uses a 32 card deck (7’s – Aces).  Include one Joker as well for a total of 33 cards.  

For three of the suits, card order remains normal (7’s – Aces), but it changes for the trump suit.  The Joker is the highest ranking trump card at all times.  The trump suited Jack is the second highest card, and the same colored Jack is the third highest ranking card.  For example, if spades are trump, the trump suit order is 7♠,8♠,9♠,10♠,Q♠,J♣,J♠,Joker.

To determine teams, each player should take a card from the deck before adding the Joker.  The two players with the lowest cards are on a team, and the two highest make the opposing team.  The player with the lowest card must deal first and keep score for the game.

The dealer collects all the cards, adds the Joker to the deck, and shuffles thoroughly.  Deal seven cards to each player in packs of 2-3-2  (5 cards, packs of 2-3 for six player games).  The remaining four cards make the kitty.  The top card of the kitty is flipped over to help determine the trump suit.  This is called the turn up.  The other three cards of the kitty will not be used.

DETERMINE TRUMP

Beginning with the player on the immediate left of the dealer, that player looks at the turn up card’s suit and decides whether or not they want that suit as trump.  If they do, they tell the dealer to pick it up.  If they don’t, they say pass.

Once the dealer is told to pick it up, that suit becomes trump.  The dealer must choose a card to discard face down on the kitty.먹튀검증사이트

If every player passes, the turn up card is turned down.  The player left of the dealer may choose the trump suit or say pass.  If each player passes again, the hand is considered a misdeal.  The cards are collected, and the deal passes to the left.

GOING ALONE

If the player who determines trump believes they can take all of the tricks, they declare a loner hand.  When doing so, they choose one card from their hand and offer it to their partner.  In return, their partner gives them the best card they have to help with taking tricks.  The exchange occurs before the turn up card is picked up.
