INTRODUCTION OF BID EUCHRE
When most people speak of Euchre, they are usually talking about Turn Up. That is the classic way to play, but it is also the simplest. If you enjoy Turn Up, you will really like Bid Euchre. There is no kitty, and the power to determine trump is literally in your hands. The bidding phase is very reminiscent of Bridge. Players bid to declare how many tricks they think they can take as a team, and the team that has the highest bid is held to that contract. After playing a few hands, most players will be delighted at the challenge that Bid Euchre presents. 메이저검증
THE CARDS & THE DEAL
Bid uses a standard Euchre deck comprised of twenty four cards including the 9’s up through the Aces.
Bid Euchre is played in teams of two. Teammates sit across from each other.
The dealer gives six cards to each player by dealing one card at a time.
Once all of the cards are dealt, players look at their hand and determine how many tricks they think they can take as a team.
THE BID
Proceeding clockwise from the dealer, players claim how many tricks their team is going to take this round. The lowest bid possible is three. If a player does not believe they can take at least three tricks with their partner’s help, they may pass. Players must overbid each other in order to determine trump and go first. For example, if player one bids three, everyone else at the table must bid four or more if they want to determine trump. If a player overbids and says four, the next player must bid five or more to declare trump. Partners are allowed to overbid each other.
There are two ways to bid six. A player may try to go for six tricks and ask a partner for help. After bidding six and determining trump, they choose a card that they want to get rid of, and offer it to their partner. The asking player asks for their partner’s best trump card. For example, if a player bids six and asks, they may say “give me your best heart”. This means that hearts are trump for the hand. If the partner does not have a heart, they cannot say anything. They just pick the best card they can and give it to their partner.
Players may also bid six and go alone without help. This is called shooting the moon. To do this a play simply says, “I am shooting the moon”.
If a player asks or shoots the moon, their partner does not play this hand.
If every player passes, there must be a redeal. All cards are collected and the deal is passed to the left.
The player with the highest bid determines trump for the hand. That team is responsible for taking that many tricks.
