[Etym. doubtful.] A game of cards, a modified form of écarté , all cards between the seven and the ace being discarded, commonly played in America. The highest card is the knave of trumps, technically known as the right bower, and the next the knave of the same 1707 color, called the left bower. Some players use an odd card called the "joker" which is of the highest value, capturing either bower. There are many varieties of euchre, the French, Lap, Railroad, and two, three, four, and six-handed games. "I thanked my new acquaintance, but the thing was Quadroon, ch. xlvii. impo ible, as I had never played euchre."-Mayne Reid:
