I learned how to plan 2 yrs ago at my local senior center and have been playing weekly. I don’t have any experience with any card games other than poker and I found it easy to learn. As i have played more I’ve learned more strategies. It is a challenging, fun game

Thanks for reaching out! We understand that being able to personalize your profile can make the game experience more enjoyable.

In Euchre, usernames are automatically assigned by the game as a variation of “Guest” followed by a series of numbers. At this time, there isn’t an option to edit or change the assigned username. You can still personalize your avatar’s appearance by clicking the Profile icon on the game board, where you can choose a different avatar image or style.

We hope this helps, and thank you for playing!

no it doesn’t because i see people who are not bots with names. i check to see if they are a bot and it shows they aren’t. plus the game euchre freezes all the time. many players complain about this.

Additionally, it will not even allow me to play bots...i guess im glad I decided NOT to become an AARP member even though im 54 and retired/disabled. If the rest of the company operates based on the same principles as this game is admin'd then I dont want no part of it.

Also, can the dealer avoid getting stuck with the bid, like throw in the hand & pass the deal?
