Hello BattleForums,

My name is SpaceDominator and I have been around the StarCraft Community since the original StarCraft Beta. However, besides my own love for playing StarCraft, my other biggest interest is that of card games. Since I was rather young, I used to play a ton of different classic card games such as Euchre, Hearts, Spades, Bridge, Pinochle, etc.. and loved playing them for fun and analyzing the strategy to them.

So over the past few months over at BlizzForums, I have held a weekly card game night where we have switched up and learned and played a new card game each week. We have played everything from Euchre to 3-5-8 to Barbu to Agurk to Cribbage to Spades to Whist to Hearts, etc.. We've had a good turnout of people each week and we've had a lot of fun each week with it.

So what's the point of me bringing all this up? I'm inviting BF to take part in my Euchre Tournament that I will be hosting next Wednesday, March 18th @ 9:00 PM EST. I thought it would be pretty fun to bring people from different communities together to compete in a simple to learn card game that is pretty quick. The entire tournament will last approximately only 75-90 minutes total.

However, the thing is that this event isn't only for players who know how to play the game of Euchre but it is also an opportunity to learn how to play Euchre. For those of you that are interested in learning or just playing some friendly warm up games, I will be hosting starting on Wednesday, March 11th @ 8:30 PM EST a night where will be teaching Euchre and also forming the partnerships for play the next week.

Full details about the two nights are available at: Sports and More Euchre Tournament

If you have any questions or would like to me to give you a reminder about the event(either through AIM, PM, E-mail, etc...) feel free to let me know in this thread.

I thank you for your time and I am looking forward to seeing BF represented in the event.

We've done Poker as well in the past. However, there isn't a great site out there to host a private tournament that works really well. We have done it over at Game Desire(GameDesire) in the past and it was alright but it didn't allow exactly what we were looking for.

Euchre is an easy to learn game and it is quicker than poker.

Personally, I find Hold'Em to be a whole lot of luck. I can't find any other game out there where you can play a hand PERFECT and then still lose. I prefer a game that rewards you for making perfect moves. Just a personal preference though.

I don't play poker often, although i kinda like it. I know a plethora of regular card games i play with friends. I also play a little YuGiOh on the side.
