Almost Complete!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Complete Win at Euchre (Paperback)
The "Complete Win At Euchre" is a fine book, and helpful to players of all abilities. It has two flaws, one of which is the uncertainty of the history of the game. The author tries a "shotgun" approach by quoting various sources and writers, and leaves the reader with the impression that he is not sure just where Euchre really came from. The other fault I find with this book is the overdone praise that the author pours on his friends, sponsors, and tournament hosts.
However, he recovers quite nicely with a solid section of terms and definitions, and continues with several good chapters, including Mr. Lapp's "Ten Commandments of Euchre". I also liked the section about Loners. Finally, he has a complete chapter loaded with play-by-play analysis of hands as they happended in various tournaments. Some of the actual plays were very strange, but this is how they took place. You will not be disappointed if you get this book. I hope that if and when the author updates The Complete Win At Euchre, he includes a little more information on other variations of the game, and up to date listing on places where to play Euchre on line. A four star effort which can be brought up to five stars with a little more work!

A really terrific book!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Complete Win at Euchre (Paperback)
The Complete Win At Euchre rocks! It is all the Euchre book I need to become a better player. Really good stuff, here. I looked at the other recent review and was suprised to see that "The Complete Win At Euchre" was totally trashed, like it was worthless. Who cares about 2-handed Euchre? Does anyone play that game at Tournaments? Does anyone play the 2-handed game when they play Euchre with their families or friends?? I thought Euchre was almost always played with 4 players, or sometiomes, 3 players. As for "Solitaire" Euchre,it sounds interesting, but then again, is there a place on line where you can play this style of Euchre?
Then we have the 24 hands in the book. It is clearly said in the book that these hands were played at various Euchre events, and this is how they were played. It is always easy to see how you should have played a hand after it is over with. I enjoyed the stories, and learned from the way hands were played. It helps you learn from the mistakes that did happen in some of the hands. We are all just people, not machines. Other hands were most helpful to improve my way of playing. I really liked the section about the 10 Commandments. Even if a reviewer does not agree with a book, the book can't be all trash, and worth nothing. Read "The Complete Win At Euchre", you will be glad you did!

Terrific Learning Tool,
By Dino (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Win at Euchre (Paperback)
I've been very impressed with Mr. Andrews from his articles on MSN Gaming Zone and Games Magazine and also from the live tournaments he directs every year. Mr. Andrews' writing style is such that even a beginner can play Euchre like a pro using his easy to understand theories and techniques. He truly is an expert and it's easy to see why Bicycle put their name on his books.
