Euchre is a
At the start of each round, each player is dealt five cards. Another card is turned face up. Each player in turn is given the opportunity either to order up this card to the dealer or to pass. If a player chooses to order it up, the dealer receives it and discards another. This suit becomes trump for this round. The trump suit beats all other suits.
If all four players pass, each in turn has an opportunity to make another suit trump. If all four players pass again, new cards are dealt.
Now the play begins. The player to the left of the dealer plays a card.
Play continues clockwise. When it is your turn, the blue "Play" prompt will appear above your cards. Double-click on a white card to play it. You must play a card of the same suit as the first card if you can.
If you don't have any cards in the suit that was led, you can play any card, including trump.
When each player has played a card, the person who played the highest trump card wins these cards for his or her team. This is called winning a trick. If no trump was played, the person who played the highest card in the suit that was led wins the trick. (The computer keeps track of this automatically.)
The player who won the trick now leads a card. Play continues in this manner until all 4 players have played all of their cards.
Here are some tips and tricks to to be the first team to score 11 points!
The highest trump card is the Jack in that suit. The second-highest trump card is the other Jack in the suit of the same color. Thus, if spades is trump, the Jack of Spades is the highest and the Jack of Clubs is the second highest. The remaining cards are ranked Ace through 9.
In Euchre, the ranking of trump cards is different from that in Spades or Bridge. If the trump suit is Hearts, the trump cards are, from highest to lowest: Jack of Hearts (the Right Bower), Jack of Diamonds (the Left Bower), Ace of Hearts, King of Hearts, Queen of Hearts, 10 of Hearts, and 9 of Hearts.
If the Makers both play, scoring is as follows: If they win 3 or 4 tricks, they get 1 point. If they win all 5 tricks, they get 2 points. If they take fewer than 3 tricks, they are euchred and the defenders score 2 points.
If a Trump Maker is going alone and wins all 5 tricks, the team gets 4 points instead of 2. Otherwise, scoring is as above.
Games can be set to a higher or lower point total when initially created through the Options button.
In Euchre, rating points are calculated in the following manner:
Rated games where the difference between opponents ratings is greater than 600 will not affect the players ratings. This is to prevent more experienced player from taking advantage of new players.
When you arrive at an empty table and start a new game, you can set a number of options before launching the game by clicking the Options button just above the game table. Default options - that is, the options that are set automatically unless you specifically change them - are in [brackets].

Did you sign out of Pogo? I sometimes see "currently playing" at the last table I just played. It will change when you pick another room or table. |

Euchre • Playing via UK site.....By PettyThief2 » May 5th, 2013, 3:31 amI have been playing Pogo free games from when it was Excite games. Quite a while. In the last 2/3 months I couldn't play - and neither could others either - all were having the problems of freezing up, or just not being able to load table via the US/Canada button. Someone in a lobby said the only way they could now play was via the UK site. Lo, and behold, I started this name via that entrance and outside of the freeze ups I was able to play again. Now I see that the UK site is being closed down along with the free site. The Pogo site has always been a free site for all the games here, and usually things like the freeze ups etc are fixed by pogo when enough people made them aware. |

Euchre • Re: FIREFOX Fixed my JAVA problemBy Mod_Skratty » May 3rd, 2013, 7:49 pmJust the fact that a certain browser works is a clear sign that the issue isn't with Pogo - if it were, that browser wouldn't work either. When one browser works and another doesn't, it's usually a sign that one browser has certain settings (either in the tabbed internet options themselves or as an add-on, plug-in or extension) that interferes with a certain facet of game loading and the other does not. When no browser will work, it's often a sign that a user's anti-virus or firewall program/s are causing the interference, usually through the same sorts of settings. |

Euchre • FIREFOX Fixed my JAVA problemBy Tdawg4210 » May 3rd, 2013, 5:36 pmIt seems obvious that the POGO gods are not fixing the JAVA issue(s) that A LOT of THEIR customers are having. Just for POGO; I downloaded Firefox Browser and what to my amazement? I am able to play euchre once more or until JAVA issues arise with Firefox. If that happens it's bye-bye POGO at that point. |

Mac OS X 10.7.3 version and above (Mountain Lion & Lion) This tip has resolved the Java 7 / Safari issue for other Mac users maybe it will help you too. 1. Go to http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp 2. This takes you to to a blank box with the words "inactive plug-in" in the middle, click on the words "inactive plug-in" 3. You will get a pop-up box that says "Do You Want To Run This Application". Click run. 4. Go to Pogo and try playing. If the above tip doesn't resolve the problem, check out the information Pogo tboo posted in this thread: Enable Java for Lion (OS X10.7) and Mountain Lion (OS X10.8) And if that doesn't help, this information that was posted on MacRumors on 4/16/2013 might be helpful: Apple releases Safari and java updates with plug-in and security-improvements |

Euchre • Re: javaBy duncanlite » April 18th, 2013, 9:25 pmI am having the same problem with my mac. I tried with safari (6.0.4), and it tells me that java can't be found. I have reinstalled three times now, refreshed my broswer, restarted my computer and nothing has worked. I also tried joining a room using firefox, and firefox closes out and sends apple an error report. Very frustrating! |
