Tips: The trump suit has nine cards, but there are only seven cards in the other suit of the same color. Remember the J is not played as a heart when the trump suit is diamonds this is also true for other jacks of the same color as the trump suit.

Some also allow for one defender to decide to play alone against lone declarer, in which case if the declarer is euchred, the defenders score 4 points. Unless you score "march" (winning five tricks ), you get only one bonus point for success, but you lose two points for failing. In this case, the risk is far greater than the reward. You must then play against both opponents. At which time, you must declare "alone," and your partner's hand is taken out of play. When you accept or name trump, you may also decide to play alone. If no trump is selected during the second round, the cards are shuffled for a new deal. The suit rejected in the first round may not be nominated a second time. Instead, each player, in turn, has the choice of naming a suit as trump or passing. The round begins from the dealer's left with no upcard. If all players pass, the dealer turns the upcard facedown and puts it under the stock, and the players go through a second round with slightly different rules. If partner passes, the other opponent can "order it up." If that player also passes, however, the dealer can either say, "I take it up" or "I turn it down." If the eldest does not want the upcard to be trump and passes, the dealer's partner can say, "I assist," in which case the suit of the upcard becomes trump, and the dealer again must discard. The dealer keeps the upcard on top of the stock until it is played. If the eldest accepts the upcard as trump, saying, "I order it up," the dealer must then accept the upcard as a part of his or her hand and discard one card facedown, placing it into the stock. Each player, in turn, may accept or pass the suit of the upcard as trump. Setting trump: Action starts with the player to the dealer's left (called the eldest player). After the hands are dealt, the dealer turns up the top card from the stock to begin the task of setting trump. Five cards are dealt to each player either in batches of two and three or three and two.
