In Euchre, the team that calls trump (the "maker") scores points based on how many tricks they win. If the maker wins 3 or 4 tricks (out of 5), they earn 1 point. If they win all 5 tricks (a "sweep" or "march"), they earn 2 points. If the maker fails to win at least 3 tricks, they are "euchred," and the opposing team earns 2 points. The first team to reach the target score (usually 10) wins the game.

"Going Alone" is a bold move where the maker's partner sits out for the round, and the maker plays solo against both opponents. If the maker wins all 5 tricks alone, they earn 4 points — a massive swing. If they win 3 or 4 tricks, they still earn just 1 point. If they get euchred while going alone, the opponents still earn 2 points. Going alone is a high-risk, high-reward strategy best used with exceptionally strong hands.

Being "euchred" means the team that called trump fails to win at least 3 tricks. The opposing team scores 2 points as a penalty against the maker. It's one of the most exciting defensive achievements in the game — defeating the team that chose the trump suit.

The most common target score is 10 points, though regional variations exist. Some play to 5, 7, 11, or 15 points. Tournament play often uses 10 or 11 points. Our scorekeeper lets you choose any target from 5 to 15 points to match your house rules.

Traditionally, players use the 6 and 4 cards from the deck to track score — the 6 is placed face down with the 4 face up on top, revealing pips to show the current score (one pip = one point). When a team reaches 10, they reveal all pips. Our digital scorekeeper eliminates the need for cards, automatically tracking every round with a detailed history.

Euchre is believed to have originated in Europe, possibly from the Alsatian game "Jucker" or the French game "Écarté." It gained immense popularity in the United States during the 19th century, particularly in the Midwest, and remains a beloved social card game in many regions today.
