A similar thing happened in my school with a card game called Euchre. Heaven forbid the students enjoy the small amount of time between bells or in a class once their work is complete.

Did you go to school somewhere in the Midwestern US? Everyone I know who has even heard of euchre is from there (mostly Indiana).

Michigan, but I know what you mean.

Ohio following suit. Euchre seems more a Great Lakes thing than a Midwest thing.

Euchre can be gambled on right? So at least there is some angle where it's "undesirable".
