Euchre is a trick-taking card game played in several parts of the world. It is closely related to the French game Écarté.
History
The
British Isles (most notably in the
Channel Islands,
Cornwall,
Devon,
Hampshire, and
Kent),
United States,
Canada and
Australia all have large followings of the game. In the United States, euchre has declined in popularity since the
19th century, when it was widely regarded as the national card game, but it retains a strong following in some regions. Today, although euchre players can be found across the United States, the game is most predominant in the
Midwest (especially
Michigan,
Ohio,
Minnesota,
Wisconsin,
Illinois,
Iowa, and
Indiana), as well as
Pennsylvania and upstate
New York — all areas with significant populations of
German-Americans who settled in those areas during the 19th century. In Canada, euchre's largest following is in
Ontario.
