One. Two. Three. Four.
The number of pips exposed on the card which is face up is immaterial; the relative position of the two cards will always determine the score.
Rubber or game scores must be kept on a whist marker, or on a sheet of paper.
PLAYERS. Euchre may be played by any number of persons from two to seven; but in the seven-handed game the full pack of fifty-three cards is used. Whatever the number of players, they cut for positions at the table, for partners, and for the deal.
CUTTING. The cards are usually spread, face down, and each candidate for play draws a card.
Spreading the Pack.
When two or three play, the lowest cut has the choice of seats, and takes the first deal. When four play, they cut for partners; the two highest pairing against the two lowest. The lowest has the choice of seats, and deals the first hand. When five or seven play, they have the choice of seats in their order, the lowest first, and the lowest cut deals. When six play, the three lowest are partners against the three highest, the lowest cut having the choice of seats, and the first deal.
