2018: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre


I CAN'T learn it in 2018. My time machine's broken.


Well, we all know how to play Euchre now.
Because our year is up.

1) Unpack a brand new pack of cards. Remove jokers.
1a) Put the jokers back. The game apparently uses jokers.
2) Shuffle thoroughly.
3) Deal out cards.
4) ...
5) Profit!

The subroutine for (4) is similar to Bridge.

I tried to write a program to play Bridge once. That's
when I learned that "programs need structure" and
"60 lines of code aren't enough" :-) Any program I write
today, can have no more than 60 lines in it, in memory
of my "discovery".
