Here are some of the general variations to the game that I received or found. I have not yet decided how I am going to handle games such as Euchre, that are popular both in the USA and other English-speaking countries. Five cards are still dealt to each player. A joker may be added to the deck. Deal passes to the next player.
Deal passes to the next player.
Dealer may not pick up face up card if it would be his only trump. No player may order up or pick up the face up card unless they already have that suit in their hand. The left bower does not fulfill the requirement. If dealer's partner wishes to make the suit of the face-up card trumps, she must play alone. If no one calls trumps on the second round of bidding, the dealer must call trumps.
