Theres just too many rules that completely blow the game if you break them. People tell me there's room for strategy but everything feels predetermined by the cards you get and of course there's that guy over your shoulder telling you "can't do that" every time you try something and oh great the other team knows my cards now, game over. Like yeah lol fuck this you guys can play without me.
There's really just one rule in the basic euchre ruleset I know that you can't break: failing to follow suit. Doing that ends the hand and results in points for your opponent.
You are kinda right about your cards predetermining play though - once you get really good and are playing with other people who are really good, whole rounds can be played in minutes, because everyone just knows what to play.
Agreed. There is still strategy, but it comes in picking the suit and the bidding.
It helped that I learned it with my wife from our two best friends that had no one else to play with in our city, and we mostly just hung out and cooked and drank and played cards our whole way through grad school
I found it easier to play with bots to learn, they are more forgiving and are a bit bad at the game as well.
