Description
To find out more information about our euchre playing cards please be sure to check out our Card Playing World website.
In the past 20+ years Euchre was primarily a game played in the midwest. Now it has spread to many parts of the US as Americans continue to move and share various card games with others around the USA. With it's popularity growing in the past few years we decided to not only introduce a deck of our own Euchre cards, but to implement some of the variations that help make the game so much fun.
Euchre is a classic trick-taking card game that is played with a 24 card deck consisting of 9's, 10's, Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces. You can also play “bid euchre” or 6 handed euchre with the 7 spot up included in this deck. For those who like to play unique twist or "old school" style euchre this deck also includes bonus “Jokers” to be able to play using a “Best Bower” or use both “Jokers” to play “Big Joker/Little Joker”.
Includes 1 deck of 36 playable cards if you include the Big Joker/Little Joker. The cards are linen finish, poker sized (2-1/2 x 3-1/2) for easy euchre play.
Euchre Basic Instructions (written by Joe Andrews) are included in the deck along with counter cards to help keep track of score.

What is the Difference between Bridge and Poker Sized Playing Cards?
Often times the size of a playing card is referred to as a "narrow" or "wide" deck of cards. While the narrow/bridge decks (2-1/4" x 3-1/2") are called "bridge" size, the wide/poker decks (2-1/2" x 3-1/2") are called "poker" sized.
FACT: BOTH sizes are usable for any normal card game as they are really just normal decks that are a different width. So it really doesn't make any difference which size deck you choose.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
- It is said that the bridge sized decks were made for the "ladies" so that it was easier to hold.
- Often times the bridge or narrow sized decks do make it easier to hold more cards in your hand.
- In the U.S. the "poker" sized are considered the "normal" size.
- In pretty much the rest of the world, the "bridge" sized cards are considered the "normal" size.
Again, please remember that you can use the "bridge" or "poker" sized decks for pretty much any card game. The only difference is one is a 1/4" narrower than the other.
Other Sizes...
Some times we offer various other "sizes" of playing cards. They may be "enlarged" or larger than normal decks or they may also be smaller than normal decks.
Another varience on the "size" would be what we call "shaped" cards. The shaped cards have taken various shapes over the years and change in popularity. They do offer a nice change of pace to a normal deck of cards.
