I’m from Ohio, and I played euchre all the time in high school, so I guess that’d be my answer. Great game. Haven’t played in ages, though. ---

Michigan Of course, I’m from Michigan and we’ve played it here. I have heard it isn’t as common outside the state, though. ---

Indiana, but I may just be misremembering what people have told me. They might have said that it was Ohio or Michigan where it’s the most popular. ---

Wisconsin popped into my head first, but then I started thinking Florida. Do card games migrate? ---
