The Laws and Practice of the Game of Euchre. As Adopted by the Washington, D.C. Euchre Club by Charles Henry Wharton Meehan audiobook.
Genre: history
Step into the lively drawing rooms and smoke-filled parlors of 19th-century Washington, D.C., with this authoritative guide to one of America's favorite card games: The Laws and Practice of the Game of Euchre. As adopted by the Washington, D.C. Euchre Club, Charles Henry Wharton Meehan's concise, period voice delivers exacting rules, clear scoring instructions, accepted variations, and the social etiquette that turned a pastime into a ritual. This audiobook brings those rules to life with vivid descriptions of play, illustrative examples of hands and strategy, and notes on disputes and customary resolutions that reveal how communities codified fair play before standardized rulebooks. Whether you are a card-player eager to learn authentic historical procedures, a historian or collector curious about recreational life in post‑Civil War America, or a hobbyist seeking vintage gameplay and period charm, Meehan’s manual is at once practical and richly atmospheric. Listen to the clipped authority of club-formal language, discover the subtle strategic guidance tucked into rule explanations, and enjoy a lively portal into the social world that shaped how euchre was played and argued across tabletops in the nation’s capital.
