At one point, a 10-card variation became popular, but the 'traditionalists' always preferred 5-card. I miss playing when I'm not around the rest of the guys from the house. Thanks, Van - I'll relay your vote to those 'in the know'. Michael - I learned about Euchre at my fraternity, although I think we were one of the few places at Penn State that played it.

Although lumberjack would tell you they eat ninjas for breakfast, lumberjacks will eat anything for breakfast. Ninjas are too busy kicking ass to eat breakfast. Ninja easy.

I'm looking forward to seeing a college buddy of mine when we go to North Carolina. We've had a few get-togethers with a few of us, but I don't think I even knew as many people in college as you have at your Extravaganzas. I had no idea anyone outside of Indiana had ever heard of Euchre. It's pretty big here, but everywhere else I've gone, it seems like nobody's heard of it. I never got that into it myself, but I'm not really into games in general. It's weird how alcohol rules and laws change over time. Evanston, where Northwestern University is (which is where I went) was a dry town until the 70s. Things got a lot more open-minded for a while, but they seem to be cracking down more in the past few years. That sounds like a great time.
