Euchre © 1977 Creative Computing Soft.

A computer implementation of two-handed Euchre in BASIC. The player plays against the computer. The goal is of the game is to earn 10 points. After each hand points up to four points are awarded. The game uses a 24 card deck and each player is dealt 12 cards, four face up, four face down and four in the hand. One of the players must call a trump suit. Players then play cards to win tricks, where trump takes all. The player that called trump must win at least seven tricks to get points, otherwise the other player will earn points based on the number of tricks.

The AI doesn't have a robust strategy, but cheats by looking at all 12 cards before calling trump and looking at the player's hand when leading a card.
