Euchre, a well-liked card game in the Midwest and in Canada, New Zealand and Great Britain, is played with a deck of 24 cards, consisting of the nines, tens, jacks, queens, kings and aces of each suit. The objective of the game is to be the first team to reach 10 points.
Hundreds gathered Saturday under the chandeliers in the New Glarus Fest Haus for the second annual World Euchre Championship — pretty much the Midwestern version of “American Ninja Warrior.”
