"An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea." Note: Thinking this way certainly inspires me to order trump more often.

"When in doubt, win the trick."

As simple a game as euchre first appears to be, the strategy possiblitlities are actually quite overwhelming. The variables involved make a basic strategy difficult to arrive at without endless exceptions. This work tries to impose a basic set of strategies on a player who wishes to win more euchre games by consistantly taking the best route available.
