Why You Need A Euchre Score Keeper
About a decade ago, upon my first visit to Ohio with my wife, I was introduced to the intriguing world of Euchre. Growing up in New York, Spades was our game of choice. In an era before smartphones, we'd gather for card games during lunch breaks and after school. The transition to Euchre felt natural, with its similarities to Spades.
Over the years, I noticed recurring patterns among players. What's the most prominent? The frequent, often exasperated query, "What's trump?" It might seem innocuous, but hearing it dozens of times in a single game can test one's patience. This recurring question became the catalyst for my creation.
Enter the Euchre scoreboard. Designed to stand prominently on the table, they're a clear beacon for all players. The challenge? Assign the role of moving the trump peg each round to a diligent player. With this board in place, instead of answering the repetitive "What's trump?" or "What's the score?", you can simply point to the Euchre scoreboard.
And for those spontaneous games that seem to pop up frequently in the Midwest? These boards are conveniently sized for easy portability, slipping effortlessly into a bookbag or purse.
Board Features:
-
Trump Indicator: Always know the current trump without the need to ask.
-
Keeping Track Of The Score: Stay updated on the current score effortlessly.
-
Games Won Counter: Keep a tally of your triumphant victories.
-
Euchre Deck Holder: An added card storage to hold your deck, ensuring you're always game-ready.

How They Are Made?
Crafting the perfect board for Euchre is a meticulous process, leveraging both advanced CNC technology and hands-on craftsmanship. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the journey each board undergoes:
-
Step 1: Prep the wood using the jointer, planer, and table saw. Once the wood is straight and flat, it's primed for the CNC.
-
Step 2: The CNC gets to work, diligently carving out the board's design. Typically, one board takes around 30 minutes to fashion, using two distinct router bits for precise cuts.
-
Step 3: Post CNC work, the boards are meticulously cleaned up with sandpaper. Following this, they're taken to the drill press where holes are made to embed magnets, ensuring the boards hold together seamlessly.
-
Step 4: The numbers and suits come alive through hand painting, adding character and clarity to each board.
-
Step 5: Any excess paint from the previous step is gently sanded off, ensuring a smooth and polished surface.
-
Step 6: The final touch involves applying the finish. Once set, the board is left to dry, culminating in a product that's both durable and visually appealing.
Every Euchre enthusiast deserves a board that stands as a testament to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. These boards not only serve a functional purpose but also elevate the entire gaming experience. If you're passionate about Euchre and appreciate the harmony of technology and handwork, owning one of these masterpieces is a no-brainer. They represent dedication to the game and a commitment to excellence in every hand played.

Spotting a gap in the market was a revelation. Thousands indulge in the joy of Euchre, yet many lack a dedicated, durable board. Most options I stumbled upon were flimsy cardboard or low-quality alternatives. It was clear to me: Euchre enthusiasts deserved better.
Driven by this vision, I set out to craft a high-end scorekeepers. Not just any Euchre score board, but one that stands the test of time. Made from a single piece of hardwood, these scorekeepers resist the usual wear and tear. Forget concerns about water damage or the aftermath of an accidental drop; this robust design endures it all.
