Euchre Rules
High Card wins hand.
Players must follow suit. If a ❤️ is led, you must play a ❤️ or the left bower Jack (J♦️).
If you must play an off-suit card (that's not trump), the highest on-suit card wins the hand. Example: 9 ♦️ beats the Ace ♣️ if diamonds are the suit that is led.
Here is the full ranking of all 7 trump cards, from highest to lowest:
J❤️ (Right Bower - The Jack of Hearts)
J♦️ (Left Bower - The other red Jack)
A❤️ (Ace of Hearts)
K❤️ (King of Hearts)
Q❤️ (Queen of Hearts)
10❤️ (10 of Hearts)
9❤️ (9 of Hearts)
