The method of scoring at Euchre is somewhat peculiar. The score is usually
kept by means of spare playing cards, a three and a four (of any suit)
being used by each side. The "three" face upwards, with the "four" turned
down upon it, indicates _one_ (however many pips may chance to be exposed).
The "four" face upwards, with the "three" turned down upon it, indicates
_two_. The face of the "three" being uppermost counts _three_; and the face
of the "four" being uppermost counts _four_.
Another method of keeping the score is by means of a cross x chalked at the
outset of the game on the table beside each player. "One" is scored by
rubbing out the centre of the cross, leaving the four {73} arms still
standing, and these in turn are rubbed out, one for each point which the
player becomes entitled to score.
The hints for play which follow are borrowed, with slight modification,
from the American Hoyle. They refer more especially to the four-handed
game.
