I thought no one played Euchre outside of Michigan.

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.

Everyone in Ohio plays Euchre too. I guess it's a Midwest thing?

Spades. Especially with a good balance of sandbag/nil/blind nil rules and payoffs. A group I played with also allowed a '10 for 2': If the second person of a team to bid makes their team's bid '10 for 2', then they will get +200 points if they take exactly 10 tricks, and -100 for any other number. Kind of gimmicky but it was fun.

Isn't spades just bridge with training wheels, though?

That's fine. So far I have you, Inchoathand (sorry I mispelled), I know Lucas will be down for it and me. So we already have enough players for a game. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

spades - it's not close

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

spades takes more skill
