<p>I come from a long line of Euchre players.  When all players have turned down ordering up trump and it goes to each player to name a suit, we have also included &quot;No Trump&quot; as an option. Meaning if you have, for example: A,K,Q of the same suit, or A,K, of one suit and A of another suit, or some other variation of high suit cards, you can name No Trump and be guaranteed taking 3 tricks.  We have played that way for a long time but I can't find any online information on it.  Does anyone else play this way too?</p>

## No Trump is not a valid bid in official Euchre. But it is valid in some variants.

For example, the [Pepper variant](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/87901/article/4143267#4143267) allows no trump bids.

> Pepper is a variant of bid Euchre that is popular in Iowa and Southern Minnesota.

For official Euchre rules, see for example [Pagat](https://www.pagat.com/euchre/euchre.htm), [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euchre), [cardgames.io](https://cardgames.io/euchre/) and [worldofcardgames](https://worldofcardgames.com/euchre).
