Bid euchre

Bid euchre is similar to euchre, but it introduces an element of bidding in which the trump suit is decided by which player bids to take the most tricks. The primary differences are the number of cards dealt (8 instead of 5), absence of any undealt cards, the bidding and scoring process, and the addition of a no trump declaration. It is a partnership game for four players and is played with two decks of 24 cards each. Beginners are welcome.
