The player who takes the trick in the example is the last player, Quigley. Get it right? If not, here is an explanation. Dick's card, the Ace of Diamonds, was numerically higher than the Queen of Hearts. However, we need to remember that any non-lead suit card that isn't trump is always lower than a lead-suit card no matter what the number. According to the chart, the Ace of Diamonds is ranked 14th but the Queen of Hearts is ranked higher at 10th. If Dick thought he would take this trick with that card, he obviously doesn't know Dick about Euchre. How about Tom and his Queen of Hearts? He lost his chance when Harry played the Ace of Spades. Harry could have played any trump card to take over the trick, because all trump cards are ranked higher than non-trump cards. In this case, the Queen of Hearts is ranked 10th but the Ace of Spades is ranked 3rd. Whether trumping his own partner would cause this partnership to get Harry is anyone's guess. Harry's card was looking pretty good to take the trick (3rd ranked? Not too shabby.) However, Quigley throwing the Jack of Clubs put an end to that quick, fast and in a hurry. "Wait a minute," you say. "I thought Spades were trump. How did he..."? Remember the definition of Left Bower? Well, it's haunting us once again. Quigley's left bower (in this case the Jack of Clubs) is ranked at 2nd, just higher than Harry's 3rd ranked Ace of Spades and Quigley wins the trick. Good Play, Mate!
