Sprinkled with literary quotes and little jests, this is a history of and guide to playing Euchre, with a short portion on playing 5-card draw poker. Some of the major differences between the described game and modern Euchre include the following:(1) Today, a game is generally played to 10 points, rather than 5 (and the 5 cards are used for scoring).
