Super Euchre‪!‬ 4+

Good Training Version and More

I have been using this Euchre app for years and, aside from a couple of flaws, I feel it is perhaps the best version for someone to learn the game. I play it a lot to pass idle time. Others have mentioned that there are times when the AI opponents clearly know the player’s (and his/her AI partner’s) cards. The other annoying thing I have noticed is that the player’s partner does not void itself of a suit when trump is made, thus making a euchre more likely. It’s one of those old “cardinal rules” of Euchre that was overlooked and which still has validity. I like the full frame size, making the cards easy to see (unlike some other versions that frame the game with a table and other unnecessary visuals). There are enough settings to make some variances, most notably choosing to misdeal if trump is not made or forcing the dealer (screw the dealer) to declare trump. Also, the round can end after four tricks if the the tricks are divided three to one and the fifth trick is moot. That might be somewhat perplexing to a new player, but it speeds up the game. There is also an icon for one’s statistics. In two words: mostly solid.

A better app for a new game

I first heard of Euchre when I was watching an episode of New Amsterdam. Chemo patients were playing it so I figured I’d download an app to learn too. I first downloaded a different app, with strong reviews. Fortunately, it introduce me to the game rules. Unfortunately, even in the slowest setting I found it confusing and it did not offer a replay. On several occasions I thought that the computer had chosen incorrectly, but I couldn’t verify it. I recently downloaded this app and I’m very happy with it. It consistently seems to follow the rules and makes sense. I certainly like that I can see a replay of any move I question. Having the both the trump Jack and same color Jack act as a Joker - both higher than an ace is a bit of a mind bender- making available replays more important than usually. Fun game!

I wish I had a like button for reviews. Thanks!

Best euchre app, average game

I’ve played just about every free euchre app and this one is the best of them. However, there are still some issues with this game.
First off, your partner constantly makes incorrect moves. For example, if they call trump with the right bower, king and queen of trump, and two off suits, they will ALWAYS lead the low trump, lose the trick, then play the right bower to win the next trick. This causes us to lose hands, and even games, which is maddening. To be fair, your opponent will do this as well, causing you to win at times when you shouldn’t, but this is still something that shouldn’t happen.
Secondly, the amount of times I call nines and tens and then receive either 2 or 3 nines and tens back does not make sense. Statistically speaking, the chances that I receive 5-6 of the 8 nines and tens multiple times in one game is theoretically 0, so the programmers need to work that out.
Overall, this is a good game, and the best free euchre app. You can control speed of play, your partners “tendencies”, auto-play options, and different game rules. I just still get annoyed with my partner too often and it baffles me that in an app where you only play one game, the computer players play incorrectly, even after multiple updates.
