| Scoring
Only the player or team that wins three or more tricks scores points. Winning all five tricks by one side is called march. If the making side fails to win three tricks, then they've been euchred. Here is how four-player games are scored:
Maker of trump with partner # of Tricks Won | Score | 3 or 4 tricks made | 1 pt. | A march (all 5 tricks made) | 2 pts. |
Maker playing alone
# of Tricks Won | Score | 3 or 4 tricks made | 1 pt. | A march (all 5 tricks made) | 4 pts. |
In both cases, if the maker is with or without a partner, when a making side is euchred, the opponents win 2 points. If a single defending player wins all 5 tricks, 4 points are awarded.
For three-player games, each player receives an individual score:
Maker scores # of Tricks Won | Score | 3 or 4 tricks made | 1 pt. | A march (all 5 tricks made) | 3 pts. |
Game Score: Number or Card Display
There are two ways to view the game score on the Euchre game table: by cards or number. Each time points are awarded for tricks won to a player or team, the score is displayed on the game table by either card or number. By default, the score is displayed using cards.
In four-player Euchre, the score display will be two cards or numbers next to the South and East players' hands. In three-player Euchre, each player will have their own score display next to their hand.
To change the score display to number: 1. Click Options. 2. Select Show score as number. By default, the score is shown in card display. How to read the score in the card display:
The cards used to display the score depend on the points to game, and the cards are presented so the score is shown in the number of pips. A pip is the suit symbol in the center section of the card and is worth one point each. Let's look at an example: if the points to game are 5, the cards shown on the table for each team or player are 2 and 3. The 3-card is displayed face up with the 2-card face down covering the 3, showing no pips. If the team or player wins 1 point, then the face-down 2-card will move to show 1 pip on the 3-card. And for every additional point won, an additional pip will be shown. When the score is 4, then the 2-card is turned face up, with the 3-card face up covering the 2, showing 1 pip from the 2. So in total, 4 pips are shown, 3 pips from the 3-card and 1 pip from the 2-card. 
Here are how the cards are displayed for various point games: Points to Game | Cards | Show | 5 | 2 and 3 | Pips on 3 covered by face-down 2 for 1-3 points, pips on 2 covered by face-up 3 card for 4-5 points | 6 | 2 and 4 | Pips on 4 covered by face-down 2 for 1-4 points, pips on 2 covered by face-up 4 card for 5-6 points | 7 | 3 and 4 | Pips on 4 covered by face-down 3 for 1-4 points, pips on 3 covered by face-up 4 card for 5-7 points | 8 | 3 and 5 | Pips on 5 covered by face-down 3 for 1-5 points, pips on 3 covered by face-up 5 card for 6-8 points | 9 | 4 and 5 | Pips on 5 covered by face-down 4 for 1-5 points, pips on 4 covered by face-up 5 card for 6-9 points | 10 | 4 and 6 | Pips on 6 covered by face-down 4 for 1-6 points, pips on 4 covered by face-up 6 card for 7-10 points | 11 | 5 and 6 | Pips on 6 covered by face-down 5 for 1-6 points, pips on 5 covered by face-up 6 card for 7-11 points |
