Lead Your Lone Ace |
“What do I lead?” is the most frequent question of the
beginner.
Also a frequent subject of dispute between experienced partners,
leading is esoteric and intuitional; and to sum it up in a few
basic rules would be to deny the essence of euchre.
A few pointers for the beginner, however:
Lead your ace – If you have a lone ace,
or an ace with only one other card of that suit, lead it.
The point of the game is to take tricks, is it not?
If you have only one or two cards in a suit off color from trump,
there is a fair chance your opponents will have that suit, too.
If you save the ace, an opponent may find an opportunity
to void himself in its suit.
