Euchre

20110905:
Today I learned to play euchre. I discovered certain game mechanics such as "going alone" as they were implemented by someone other than me. During the two games, I learned key strategies such as playing high non-trump on the first play. Then there's terminology such as the left and right bower. I learned to keep in mind that the other Jack temporarily takes the suit of the trump. Confusing at first, but euchre is lots of fun. The method used to keep score was also interesting. See my Note: Keeping Track of Scores 1-10 post.
