If your pack of cards has no joker, the two of spades can be used as a substitute.  \nThe trump suit has 8 cards ranking from highest to lowest as follows:  \nBenny, or Best Bower (the joker or two of spades)  \nRight Bower (the jack of the trump suit)  \nLeft Bower (the other jack of the same colour as the trump suit)  \nAce  \nKing  \nQueen  \nTen  \nNine  \nThe other suits have 6 or 5 cards ranking as normal: A K Q (J) 10 9.  \nNote that Benny and Left count for all purposes as belonging to the trump suit. For example if hearts are trumps, the jack of diamonds is a heart not a diamond. It can be played to a heart lead and if it is led, hearts must be followed.  \nThe word Bower comes from the German Bauer, which means farmer or peasant and is also a word for Jack.  \nThe Deal  \nThe first dealer is selected at random. The turn to deal then rotates clockwise  \nthroughout the game. The dealer shuffles and the player to dealer's left may either cut  \nor \"bump\" -that is, knock the cards to indicate that they should be dealt as they are, without cutting.  \nFive cards are dealt to each player in two rounds. The dealer deals clockwise, giving each player a packet of two or three cards in any order-any player who was dealt two in the first round gets three in the second and vice versa.  \nThe dealer then turns the next card in the pack face up. This up-card is used as a basis for selecting the trump suit. The remaining four cards are left face-down and are not used.  \nMaking trump  \nThis process determines the trump suit and which team are the makers-that is the team which undertakes to win three tricks. First each player in turn, beginning with the player to the dealer's left, has the option of accepting up-card's suit as the trump suit or passing. Specifically:  \n􀁸 The player to dealer's left may either pass or say \"I order it up\"  \n􀁸 If the first player passes, the dealer's partner may either pass or say \"I turn it down\"  \n􀁸 If the first two players pass, the player to dealer's right may either pass or say \"I order it up\"  \n􀁸 If all three other players pass, the dealer may either take up the up-card, saying \"I take it up\", or pass by saying \"over\" and turning the up-card face-down.  \nIf either of the dealer's opponents order it up or if dealer decides to take it up, the suit of the up-card becomes trump; the dealer adds the up-card to her hand and discards a card face-down. Note that (at least in this version of Euchre), the dealer's partner cannot make trumps and play with a partner. The dealer's partner can only make the turned up suit trumps by playing alone. In Britain this is done by saying \"I turn it down\", in which case the dealer's cards are placed face-down on the table and dealer's partner plays alone, with the turned suit as trump.  \nIf all four players pass, the up-card is turned face-down, and there is a second round in which players have the option to make any suit trump, other than the suit of the upcard. Again the player to dealer's left speaks first and may either pass again or name a suit. If the first player passes the second may name a suit or pass, and so on. If all four players pass a second time the cards are thrown in and the next player deals.  \nNote that the trump making process ends as soon as someone accepts or makes trump (rather than passing). That player's side are the makers and the other side are the defenders.  \nIf the Benny is turned up then the dealer's team are automatically the makers-no one else gets an opportunity. The dealer must choose a trump suit without looking at her cards.
