call-ace euchre

Call-ace euchre is a variation of the card game euchre, typically played by four to six players. In this version, after the bidding phase, the player who chooses trump (the "maker") names a specific suit. The player holding the highest card of that called suit then becomes the maker's silent partner. This partner reveals their alliance only through their play during the game. The maker can also choose to play alone, potentially becoming their own partner. Points are scored collectively by each side, with specific rules for winning tricks and the possibility of being "euchred" if the makers fail to win at least three tricks.1
