Pinochle is a trick-taking and melding game popular in the United States. The game is derived from a variation of Bezaique and was brought to America by German immigrants. The name "Pinochle" is a misspelling of the french word "binochle" which means "eyeglasses" or "Two-eyes", referring to the meld "Pinochle" which consists of a queen and a jack. Allegedly this refers to the fact that the game was originally played with a deck of cards where the queen of spades and jack of diamonds were depicted in profile, together showing two eyes.
There are multiple variations of Pinochle in existence, each with differing rules and traditions, but the one on this site is a single-deck four handed partnership Pinochle. Pinochle is played with 4 players and a deck of 48 cards. The cards have two copies of each card rank and suit of ace high , tens, king, queen, jack, and nines low.
A single round in Pinochle consists of 6 phases. Pinochle is played in partnerships, with partners sitting opposite each other at the table. The first dealer is chosen at random, but then dealership passes clockwise around the table. At the start of each round every player is dealt 12 cards. The player to the left of the dealer has first bid see below. Once every player has been dealt 12 cards the auction begins.
Here players bid the minimum number of points they believe their team can get during that round. The minimum bid is points, and starts with the player to the left of the dealer. A player can either bid 10 or 20 points over the current bid, or pass.
Once a player either passses or raises the bid the player on his left bids. A player that has passed on a bid is skipped and the player on his left bids instead. The last player not to pass wins the bid with the amount he last bid. If all players pass without bidding then the dealer makes the default bid of points, and automatically wins the contract. The winner of the bid has now won the right to: Declare the trump of the round Exchange 4 cards with his partner Lead the first trick.
Next, the partner of the winning player must select and pass over exactly 4 cards from his hand to the winning player. The winner must then pass 4 cards back to his partner. There is no restriction on which cards are passed, but partners cannot communicate or consult with each other when selecting cards to pass. Passing cards is not optional, and each player must pass 4 cards.
However the winning player can give back the cards his partner passed to him if he so chooses. The team that lost the auction cannot exchange any cards that round. All players will form melds from their hand for points. There are three classes of melds. A single card can be part of multiple melds in different classes, but can only be a member of a single meld in a given class.
For example a queen of hearts can be a member of a "Hearts marriage" Class 1 meld , and a member of "Queens around" Class 3 meld , but cannot also be a member of "Run" Class 1 meld since it already appears in the hearts marriage. The points for the melds presented are tallied up and added to the score of that team for the round. The game will automatically form the highest scoring combination of melds from your hand and present those.
Once melding concludes trick taking starts. The player who won the auction leads the first trick, and then the winner of each trick leads the next one. The player leading the trick can play any card they wish, but other players must follow the restrictions below: You must play a card in the same suit as the lead card. If you cannot play a card in suit, you must play a trump. If you can neither follow suit or play a trump then you can play any card you wish You must take the trick if doing so does not violate the above rules.
Example: The trump is spades. Bill leads the trick with the queen of hearts H Lisa has neither hearts nor spades and so can play any card from her hand. You have the ace of hearts and ten of hearts H9 H10 H You must play either the Ten of hearts or the ace of hearts as they are both in suit and can beat the queen of hearts.
Note that you must take the trick if you can even if your partner is currently winning the trick. Mike has no hearts but has a queen of spades S He must trump if able and thus takes the trick with his queen. At the end of the round the players tally up their scores.
Every ten 10 , king, and ace collected as part of tricks is worth 10 points, as well as the last trick of the round. Thus a team can get a maximum of points in the trick taking phase by getting all 8 tens, all 8 kings, all 8 aces, and the last trick of the round.
