I rate this a minus 1 star. Our family bought this for Christmas 2010 looking forward to a new game to learn and play. Firstly, according to the rules supplied, "A pack of 25 cards is used consisting of A,K,Q,J, 10, 9 in each of the four suits ... Plus a JOKER". The pack did not have a JOKER!. then it said "if your pack of card has no joker, the two of spades can be used as a substitute" The pack did not come with a two of spades either! If we broke a regular bicycle deck for the Joker or the two, the back of the card would be a big giveaway as to who has the Joker, so the deck was useless! . Giving the benefit of the doubt, we played a game according to the directions provided, but without a Joker. It was really a lame game. Will not play it again. By the Way , this game is nothing like Euchre 500 typically played in PA and Ohio areas. Don't bother.

This set was just what I was looking for. Two reduced decks for Euchre and a rule book that teaches several different ways to play...many that I had never heard of. Used it for a stocking stuffer and it was a big hit.

Overview
A favorite of the US Navy, Euchre is the card game that introduced the Joker into the world of card play. Like Bridge and Pinochle, Euchre is intensely strategic, but it is also much faster and easier to learn. Try your hand at this worldwide favorite.
