Since each player's score is calculated separately, the game ends (after 5 hands) with usually just one winner. It's lots of fun and can be risky - you don't know who your partner is until after you've bid and named trump. The double deck and passing cards result in great hands, so the bidding can go high. The non-bidding team's meld and tricks are added to each of those 3 players' scores.įive-handed pinochle is probably my favorite version of pinochle. The bidding team's meld and tricks are weighed against their high bid, and the 2 players will lose the bid amount if they fall short, or add their meld and tricks to both players' scores if they meet or exceed the bid. Then everyone lays down meld and plays tricks. The high bidder and their partner exchange 4 cards. (In this app, the bidding team is blue, their opponents are yellow.) The other 3 players form a team to oppose them. The player whose 9 suit matches the bid winner's trump suit becomes the bid winner's partner for that hand. In this app, you can tap a 9 yourself, or let the robots pick theirs first. Each player (but not the bid winner) flips over a 9. Each player is dealt 16 cards, and the bidding begins at 40, 45, or 50.Īfter years of trial and error, Dad and I agreed on a good method for choosing the high bidder's partner: After someone wins the bidding and names trump, four 9s are dealt face down to the center of the table. It uses a double pinochle deck with 9s removed. One common dealing strategy can be 4 cards at a time, 5 times around. The cards can be dealt in whatever fashion you like, as long as players all get 20 cards. 2 pinochle decks with the 9s removed (or 4 regular decks with the 2s thru 9s removed) Dealing.
