Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the USA, how many cards are there in a Euchre deck?

Answer: 24

9,10,J,Q,K,A x 4 suits = 24 cards. Some card deck makers sell Euchre decks, but the most common method is to use cards from a regular deck of cards.
2. How many cards are dealt to each player at the beginning of each hand?

Answer: 5

Typically the cards are dealt in 2's and 3's, alternating with each player; this helps to distribute the cards more fairly.
3. What cards are used for playing Euchre? (US rules)

Answer: 9-Ace

By not making use of a full deck of cards, Euchre is one of the fastest multi-player card games.
4. True or false: The highest card in a hand of Euchre is always the Jack of whatever is trump.

Answer: True

Trump always beats anything else- for example, a 9 of a trump suit can beat an ace of an off suit.
5. What is the direction of play in a game of Euchre?

Answer: clockwise

It's unknown why this is the direction of play.
6. True or false: The first round of bidding is to decide whether or not to make the upturned card's suit trump.

Answer: True

After dealing the cards, the dealer lays the top card of the remaining cards face up and the first round of bidding begins.
7. What score is a game of Euchre most commonly played to? (US version)

Answer: 10

Answer: True

The score cards may be made up of 2's and 3's, two 5's or 6's and 4's.

Answer: when the team not making trump wins the hand
