Trump/no Trump

Submitted by evenyoubrutus on April 11th, 2020 at 7:20 AM

Which rule do you prefer in Euchre? Can someone be allowed to call "no trump"? I personally think it takes away from the challenge of the game, but maybe that's just me ?‍♂️

No Trump
PLEASE!
Let the nightmare be over.

Actually, I prefer smear.  Similar to euchre, but you use the whole deck.  
High, jack, low, game!

I met Bob Uecker at a Tigers game, or rather, when I was seven, I waved at him walking through the Tiger Stadium and he gave me a huge smile and wave back.   Mr. Belvedere was comedy gold.

I always scratched my head at the rule that you must go alone if you order your partner to pick up the bid card when he's dealing.  It makes for too much conservative play.

I remember my Grandparents would play bridge all the time in the 60s with their friends and they would put down a lot of martinis.  I remember some would yell "no trump". I've never played bridge but I do remember the no trump back when I was 6 or 7. I guess they were baby sitting me when my parents were out on a Friday or Saturday night.

The way we play no trump, if the bid goes around the table the first time and no one orders it up, then the next time around anyone can name any suit trump or can call “no trump”. However, if “no trump” is called, any remaining player who’s turn comes up the second time around, can override the nontrump call by naming a suit.

Stick the dealer means that if no one names a suit the second time around, the dealer must name a suit. Hence, he got stuck with the bid.

I'd rather play without being able to go no trump.

I also prefer bid euchre, or "Pepper" to traditional euchre as well. It adds even more skill level to the game, and you can play with up to 7 players, so it can accommodate various group sizes. as well.
