Description

From the rules:
Introduction
This is a reworking of a two-player Euchre variant that I was taught about 35 years ago in Arnprior, Ontario (a small town near Ottawa). It appears to have been a local variation on Six Hand Almonte Euchre (which seems a reasonable conclusion considering Almonte and Arnprior are roughly 30km apart).

Object
Seventeen tricks are played each hand; the object is to win at least nine of them.
The Cards
A pack of 39 cards is used consisting of A K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 in four suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades) plus three distinct jokers (called Bennies).
