If you do not know how to play Euchre, no worries! We often have new people join us. Look at these How to Play Euchre videos first. You can also just show up. This is primarily a social event and teaching/learning is socializing!
You need a computer or phone with a camera to participate. This is a video event. We want to see your beautiful face. We are basically using two Apps for this event: One for the video and one for the game. It is best to have your video on a device where you can see about 30 people on one screen. Most people just use their computer but others have a combination of a computer, tablet or phone.
