Euchre is delightful. I now live in the Midwest, where seemingly everyone knows how to play, so it’s always easy to pull out a deck of cards when people come over. It moves fast and involves just enough strategy to maintain interest while also being social.
Edit: Also, if you’re into spades, I’d also recommend Rook. It has many of the same mechanics, but the bidding is somewhat more nuanced. (Although I’d suggest getting a used Rook deck because the modern ones are very cheaply made.)
- pclmulqdq 4y agoOne time, when I interned at a trading firm, I visited the Chicago office, and I was pleasantly surprised that they had Euchre games every Friday. The rules are really easy to learn and there isn't as much strategic depth as bridge, but it's a great social bidding-and-trick-taking game. Since everyone knows how to play, it's a lot of fun.
- akira2501 4y agoDouble Deck Euchre is a fantastic modification to the game too, definitely increases the range of strategies you can employ. I miss living in the Midwest.
