How Pinochle is played here
The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.
- Forty-eight cards — two each of nine, jack, queen, king, ten and ace in every suit. The ten sits above the king, which catches everybody out once.
- Once the trump is named, everybody lays out what they hold. A card counts once in a sequence, once in a four-of-a-kind and once in the pinochle — all at the same time.
- Every ace, ten and king taken in a trick is worth one, and the last trick is worth one. Twenty-five in the deal.
- The side that wins the bidding names the trump and must reach its number in melds and counters together. Fall short and the amount bid comes off instead.
How it works
- Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
- Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
- Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.
