Formal Euchre Tournaments
Basically, there is just enough strategy involved to make things interesting. In a game of euchre, a mediocre player can hold his own around excellent players because the game is more than half about luck. Nonetheless, there are certain places where you have to make the right decision, keeping the game interesting. You don’t have to be really sharp, so you can get drunk while you play. Nonetheless, when you win you feel like you deserve the credit. Basically, it’s a game halfway between hearts and war. Of course it can get pretty competitive every now and then. Usually, we wouldn’t have a formal euchre tournament, but every once in a while we would set up an official competition.
