we lost this game because me and my brother were arguing and we accidentally deleted it and since we were kids we didn't know about recycle bin.

I like this game

Long Live Gax2020-08-033 points

So great to get a chance to play this! I didn't have this exact version growing up (mine had cabin/space atmosphere options), but I was so excited to see all the characters I remembered as a kid. The newest renderings of the game ended up replacing several (Gax was an especially tragic loss imo.) Some of the jokes I really didn't understand until playing as an adult, so added bonus there.
Facemaker doesn't work for me (crashes the game) which is a bit of a shame, but just because I can't make my own uncanny valley avatar doesn't mean I can't select from the broad assortment of default uncanny valley avatars. You can't play Hoyle without it looking slightly cursed, after all.
Overall, I'd definitely say this game holds up. I've been looking for a way to play classic Hoyle for ages without partitioning and this version makes it easy. I'm on Windows 10 and just had to mount the disk image, run setup, and install.

Players

From three to seven, The four-handed partner-ship game is described below. Partners face each other across the table.

Cards

A pack of 32 cards from a regular pack of 52 discard all twos to sixes inclusive. The highest trump is the jack, called right bower. The second-highest is the other jack of the same color, called left bower. For example if spades are trump the spade jack is right bower and the club jack is left bower. The rest of the trump suit ranks: A(third-best) K, Q, 10, 9, 8, 7. In each non-trump suit the rank is: A (high) k, Q, J (if not left bower)10, 9, 8, 7.

The Deal

Each player receives five cards, dealt in batches of 3-2 or 2-3. The dealer must adhere to whichever plan he commences.) The last card of the pack (belonging to the dealer) is turned face up on the table; This is the turn-up.

Making

The turn-up proposes the trump suit for that deal, but it becomes trump only if some layer accepts it. Beginning with the player at the left of the dealer, each player in turn may pass or may accept the suit of the turn-up(if it has not been accepted before him). An opponent of the dealer accepts by saying 'I order it u'. The dealers says 'I assist' . or dealer says 'I take it up'
If all four players pass (dealer passes by saying 'I turn it down', the turn-up is turned face down. Then player to the left of the dealer has a chance to pass of to name a trump suit (if none has been named ahead of him)The named trump suit must be different from the turn-up.Whoever decides the trump suit by accepting the turn-up or naming trump in the second round, becomes the maker. The maker has the right to say 'I play alone,' whereupon his partner must discard his hand and stay out of the play. Either opponent of a lone maker may say 'I defend alone,' whereupon his partner must stay out.

The play

If the turn-up is accepted, dealer has the right to use it as part of his hand, discarding any other card face down. (The turn-up card is customarily left on the table until played)
Against a lone maker, the opening lead is made by the opponent at his left, Otherwise, the opening lead is made by the player to the left of the dealer, regardless of who is the maker.The hands are played out in five tricks, A player must follow suit to a lead if able; if unable to follow suit he may play any card. A trick is won by the highest trump on it, or if it contains no trump , by the highest card played of the suit led. The winner of a trick leads to the next.

Scoring

Only the side that wins three or more tricks scores. Winning all five tricks is called a march. When the making side fails to win the majority it is said to be euchred .The making side, when both are playing, scores 1 point for winning three or four tricks, of 2 for a march. A maker playing alone scores 1 for three or four tricks or 4 points for a march.Opponents of the maker, when both are playing score 2 for a euchre. When there is a lone defender the score is 2 for winning three or four tricks, or 4 for a march.It is customary for each side to keep track of points it has won by use of two low cards, a three and a four.Game. The first side to reach a total of 5 points wins a game. (By agreement this can be fixed at 7 or 10)

Irregularities in Euchre

New Deal

Free Hoyle Board Games 2001

There must be a new deal by the same dealer if a card is exposed or found faced in the pack during the deal or if the pack is found to be incorrect.

False Declaration

If a player uses the wrong term in accepting the turn-up (as 'I order it up' by the dealer's partner), there is no penalty; he is deemed to have accepted the turn-up. If in a second round of declaring a player names the turn-up, his call is void and his side may not make trump. Dll files.
