What does EUCHRE mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A trick-taking card game for two to four players, played with a short pack in which the jack of the trump suit is the highest card.
Euchre is especially popular in the American Midwest and in parts of Canada, where it is played in pairs around a kitchen table or in club tournaments. A hand is won by taking at least three of the five tricks, and the side that named the trump suit is penalised if it fails. Used as a verb, the word means to beat the trump-naming side in this way, and by extension to outwit or cheat someone.
How EUCHRE is used
Mostly North American; the verb is often used figuratively for being tricked or ruined.
