In the 1800s, it became one of the most popular card games in America and Australia. Euchre, and its variation, is the reason why modern card decks were first packaged with jokers, a card originally designed to act as the right and left “bowers” (high trumps). Although later eclipsed by Bridge, Euchre is still well known in America, especially in the Midwest.
