Euchre vs Spades
 

Both games were played this weekend, many tricks were won, much drunken [censored] talking was had. At first I considered spades far superior. However, after playing Euchre with a couple experienced friends, I take this back. I know there are posters here who enjoy both; lets see if its close.

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

spades - it's not close

euchre is a LOT of luck, as one alone bet is pretty much the game

spades takes more skill

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

Spades is a better game with regard to strategery, but Euchre is clearly more fun.

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

neither. i vote for pluck.

I thought no one played Euchre outside of Michigan.

I learned it from some Hoosiers, who claimed it was their game. But they're Hoosiers, so what do they know?

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

I play spades and have never played euchre...waiting to learn.

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

I love them both but I definitely prefer Euchre (and screw the dealer is the only way to play)

I learned it from my family who learned it before they moved from Ohio > Cali > Oregon. I perfer spades though but that is mostly because if i'm playing euchure it means it's a holiday and i'm playing cards with my family.

I seriously can't believe that people play any other way. That would remove a lot of the strategy, plus you'd have to deal a lot more. I think it was lucas that mentioned this before. Is this common in Denver?

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

I used to loving playing spades in the Army, where it is really popular. Infact the only thing good about being deployed whether real or in training was playing spades.

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

Euchre is an Ontario game. But, no matter, they are both Bridge for idjits.

Actually Lucas and I were euchre partners in a club. Some of the players did not even know about about it. I could not believe it. Some players even accused us of making up rules!! We stopped playing there. Euchre is such a fun game to play, not a lot of players in Denver unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure that you should be [censored]. On top of making some lame threads today, you called a game that I'm sure a lot of people in this forum enjoy playing "gay." This has potential to be a great topic as it could delve into rules discussion, variations, strategy discussion, etc.

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

euchre > spades.

Nobody in the northern part of Illinois knows the damn game. I had to go away to college (further south) to learn it.

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

Hearts is superior to both.

But Spades > Euchre because 90% of the time in Euchre your plays are forced anyway and it gets boring fast.

I disagree, Euchre is very strategic. A wrong evaluation of a hand or one wrong move and you'll lose. It is really about the team who can strategize the best and I think that's why it's so much fun.

and I paraphrase from clause 14a of the constitution of [censored]

"if you make a poll asking whether you should be banned and lose, you will be. if you ask to be banned, you're gone"

also [censored] start changing titles, or make a sticky thread with those who've felt the wrath pls. for the spectators.

that is crazy-talk

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

This isn't a question.

Euchre is fine redneck Spades and all, and I have a good time, but who the [censored] said Spades isn't as "fun" to play with your friends? Do you have friends? Don't you like [censored] them over? Jesus-[censored]-christ.

And no, hearts doesn't compete. Its a fine card game, but its not paired, and its even more simple.

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

I once played spades with a dead guy. Literally. He was propped up in the chair across from me. We were partners. I think we lost, but I don't remember for sure. That was one weird night...and yes, I'm completely serious.

Oh, oh, please tell the story, pretty-please!

Actually, don't.

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

This is unfortunate that this thread took a wrong turn. It could have been interesting to talk to other players and maybe set up online games.

It's funny that I first learned the game from a Michigander and the other two people that were playing with us were from Chicago.

This part at least could still be done [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

Are you kidding? I only learned the game from Michigan people too, and outside of yahoo, the next time I played it was when I moved there.

Awesome. I would really like to do that, I miss playing. Do you know how to?

Re: Euchre vs Spades
 

Give me forty-five minutes and I'm up for some rocking Euchre.

Yes, although it has been about 3 years since i played. Give me a week to practice a bit and then one of us should start a thread (or PM people who post in this thread saying they are interested).
