The Columbus Book of Euchre edition by Natty Bumppo James Deaton Gerry Blue Humor Entertainment eBooks

I am not really sure where to start with this "book." There is a lot of interesting information here, but it is just not put together in a very useful manner. There is some advice about naming trump, leading, and some explanation of why certain plays might be a good idea, but it felt a little short on real, useful guidelines for play.

The author is incredibly enamored with naming everything, and while it is very folksy, it makes it tough to follow.

There are pages on the "Columbus Coup" which is a play where you order up for the purpose of being euchred...just to make sure your opponent doesn't get a loner (when you are up 9-6 or 9-7). If the dealer does it, it's the "Bloomington Corollary," if you do it when your opponent has less than 6 points is apparently called the "Bubinski." If the dealers partner ever does it, this is a terrible mistake known as the "Gnawbone Gaffe," to which the dealer is supposed to reply: "The dealer's partner is not from Columbus."

It's kind of interesting, but absolutely none of this would ever happen in real life, so take it for what it's worth.

EDIT: The "Columbus Coup" is absolutely a legitimate strategy, my only quarrel was with some of the naming of somewhat obscure situations. In discussing euchre further, I've found that, yes, it can actually be helpful to have names to describe these situations, so who am I to argue here? I'm not the one writing a euchre book. I've changed my rating from 2 to 4, as with some more experience, I've come to appreciate this book a bit more.

Also, be aware that this is basically a computer print out stapled together with a construction paper cover. Not what I expected for the price I paid.

The Columbus Book of Euchre edition by Natty Bumppo James Deaton Gerry Blue Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews

Count me in! I want to join the Natty Bumppo five star fan club. Let's pump up the volume for this super wonderful book! The columbus book of euchre is the best card game book ever written!

A true work of art. No mistakes, just nice euchre instruction

for all players, kids and adults alike. I learned so much from the pictures and terms. I am winning money on line playing

euchre at pogo and yahoo. If more people send in 5 star reviews, then we can put this great book over the top and make Natty the most well known author on . Even more than the guy who wrote the Harry Potter books.

And Natty is getting old, (I heard he was in his 80's), so we must do this now. How about it my fellow euchre readers? Send in your 5 star reviews now. And send in another one next week. Thanks! Where is the address for the Bumppo fan club?
I was looking for a book that might give me some strategies, also more on rules of tournament play or hoyles rules. I found it lacking in all areas.
Certainly this book is irreverent. However, it is good, they know it, so they flaunt it. There are very few euchre books in print. Of those, this is the only one that I recommend to other euchre players (about 20-25 of us meet monthly Sep-May). I sure wish more good books would come out.
I used to be pretty good at Euchre, but I've been out of practice for probably 5-6 years. This book helped me bone up on the game and remember good strategy.

It worked, too; my partner and I gave up 6 points over 3 games and won our little tourney handily!
Maybe I was off the mark in my expectations for this book, but I'm disappointed. The author could have made this book a classic by including illustrative deals. Lacking these, the book reads more like a litany of the exploits of his card playing circle than as an instructive book. I find his online archive of columns more interesting reading than the book itself, since they actually ILLUSTRATE the ideas he discusses.

The author claims that euchre is better played in an intuitive rather than a formulaic manner. I am not necessarily convinced, and to some extent, I think this perhaps a lazy approach to the theory of the game, and to a great extent, quite misleading. For example, the concept of "next" is hardly intuitive, and in a way, a formula. To be fair,the author makes an attempt to explain the mathematical underpinnings of the "next" theory, but much more might have been achieved through illustrative deals demonstrating the idea. Likewise, diagrams would greatly enhance his explanations of card play concepts like endplays and finesses.

Another fault of the book is its lack of attempt to instruct the reader on what constitutes a basic making requirement in various positions, leaving this merely to the flights of fancy of the player. He does outline considerations of when to play loners, but my experience tells me that he fails to describe some situations where a loner call seems obvious. One example is on dealer's left and you hold AKQ10 and an outside ace and the 9 is turned. Your partner can't possibly help here. You cannot possibly be euchred. If pard and deck contain both bowers, the loner is a lock.

Don't get me wrong There IS a lot of wisdom here. Explanations of many non-intuitive concepts like "next", reverse "next", not leading a turned-down suit (which the author considers almost too elementary to mention!), and "ordering at the bridge" (not to mention the Bubinski) are invaluable to the experienced but uninstructed player. The author likely is one of the leading experts on the game today, especially based on the content of his online columns. It is unfortunate that this book doesn't measure up to that standard.

If the author were to write an instructional book for intermediate to advanced euchre players interested in elevating their games to the expert level, he would find me first in line. This book isn't that. For players looking for instructional material, I recommend the author's online columns.
