    I have no idea what it is. I just know the King of Spain played it with the Princess of Monaco!

    It’s like if you combined the board game “Crossfire” with curling. You flick wooden checkers with your fingers. I played it every time I was at my grandparents so often to a point where Ieventually never, ever missed a shot.

    Crokinole and Euchre were the 2 mainstays of cottage "no power, no TV, no cell phone, pre-internet" nightly fun while drinking.

    Euchre is one of those games I never got the hang of. Someone tried teaching me once and either I was drinking too much, really not that interested, or both, but I just couldn’t get into it.

    People I know who enjoy it really enjoy it. A buddy of mine who retired a few years ago basically goes all over playing euchre at area clubs as if it was his job.

    I learned it by watching kids play it at lunch in high school. It’s weird, but eventually it became my favourite card game along with cribbage. I’ve forgotten how to play both I think.

    I don't remember exactly when I learned to play euchre but I remember thinking "oh! this is like bridge but easy!" Which is to say I kind of learned how to play bridge sitting on my grandma's lap as a little kid and never got proficient, but also played a lot of euchre at lunch in high school.

    Same here. I played bridge way before I learned Euchre.

    That was a complete dick move by the BMW driver (Team?)
    I understand "rubbin' is racin' " and all that, but, that was taking blocking to another level.

    I also wonder if the Acura could have caught the Porsche with just a few more laps (seems like Nasr may have took his foot off the gas for a few laps at the end but then put it back in when the Acura got close)

    Yeah. The lead car was 55 laps down, and the vette and sister BMW behind were fighting for the lead.

    The response was global… dick move.

    Nasr was saving his tires and the Acura was melting them trying to catch up. No way Acura (Blomquest) was going to catch up never mind pass in those last 5 minutes unless there was bad traffic or a fuckup.

    I was happy to see the broadcast actually replay "the single digit salute" on TV. Because it absolutely needed to be shown.
