The game has changed according to each region its played in, which is pretty cool

According to Hoyle (this is from memory, so don't shoot me if it isn't 100% accurate), Euchre was brought to the US by the Dutch people that settled in Western Pennsylvania. The game then spread through the Midwest and parts of the east.

In high school, Euchre was the only game we played (I'm from northern Michigan). I still play a little bit, but not too often anymore. I've moved on to Bridge (now THAT is a card game). After playing Bridge, Euchre seems pretty tame.

BTW, does team 45 have any more cards left? I would love to get a set.
