description Railroad Euchre Overview
Railroad Euchre is a historical American variant of euchre associated with fast play and an expanded card pack. Versions of the game use a larger deck than standard euchre and may include jokers or other additional trump cards, increasing the number of possible high cards. As with other euchre-family games, players compete in tricks after a trump suit is established. Rules vary by region and period, so the name does not identify one completely uniform ruleset.
