FAQ

Do I need to RSVP or bring a partner?

Tuesdays & Thursdays: Free casual play

Our casual nights typically draw 16+ players, while tournaments often bring 30+ players. Attendance can vary week to week, and the club continues to grow.

What if I’ve never played before?

We recommend learning the basics before attending your first game so everyone can enjoy a smooth, fast-paced experience. Start with our How to Play Euchre page or watch a quick tutorial online. Our members
are always happy to help — but they’re also there to play.

What’s the vibe — competitive or casual?

Tuesdays and Thursdays are laid-back, social, and fun. Sunday tournaments are more structured and competitive (with prizes on the line), but still friendly and welcoming to all skill levels.

How long does game night last?

Casual meetups run for about two hours, and you’re free to arrive late or leave early.
For Sunday tournaments, we recommend arriving 15–30 minutes early, as games begin promptly at 1:00 PM and late entries may not be accommodated.

Can I bring a friend who’s new to Euchre?

Absolutely — just have them review the basics ahead of time. We’re happy to help new players, but the games move quickly once play begins.
