THREE-HANDED EUCHRE

Here each plays for his own hand. The value of the march and point are the

same as in the two-handed or four-handed game, but if the challenging

player is euchred, each of his adversaries scores two points. If this

should carry them both "out," the elder hand is the winner. To avoid this,

which is hardly a satisfactory termination for the younger hand, another

method of scoring is sometimes adopted, the points for the euchre being

_deducted_ from the score of the euchred player, who is "set back"

accordingly. Should he have made no points towards game, he is considered

to owe the points for the euchre; so that a player, standing at love when

euchred, has seven points to make before he can win.
