I’ve sworn off this game over 100 times because of them but keep coming back one more time.AOL Games offers users a free online gaming experience for your mobile phone, tablet and desktop that includes many great games you know. I am bidding toward a strong hand and the double pass, especially J’s is worthless and shows that the programmer doesn’t understand the game enough. N will always pass a double J or Q with the 3 card pass to S instead of Aces, when S takes the bid, more often than not ruining more possible points. N ALWAYS BIDS INTO THE 30’s when holding 3 aces even with the rest of the hand garbage! If N is dealt 3 out of 4 pinochle, get ready for a high mid 30 or higher bid. It really angers me when it means no run and a poor hand. When S picks trump, idiot N always holds the 10 when passing cards in deference to the J or Q. N will pass holding a nice run, always saves a point card to give to E W on the last play when E W always saves a trump card for the extra point. The person who wrote the program is responsible for the stupid, ignorant, idiotic plays coming from the north jerk. Terrible partner with choices on bids and plays. Passing time playing this game despite the flaws, gives me all I can really expect (especially considering that it is free). Playing errors tend to be more subtle, and fall into two categories, one being feeding points with too high of a card and the other demonstrating no knowledge of suit counts (this may also have contributed to the aforementioned ‘Shoot the Moon’ destruction).

I have also passed a perfect ‘Shoot the Moon’ hand and been stunned as partner destroys it with the pass back. only to have partner relinquish too early. I often pass to allow partner to win bid. This also allows me to see some of the most ‘glaring’ flaws (which are in partner bidding and play - though also in passing). This let’s me think through how I would bid ‘without view’ and then bid the best possible play. While there are some frustrating flaws (more on this), I enjoy using a couple of features to “cheat” in a way that allows me to develop a more complete view of bidding and play possibilities. SCORING: If the high bidder fails to make the bid (his team's total meld plus trick points is less than the bid), the bid amount is subtracted from the team score. Each trick has a winner, who gets 1 point per ace, ten or king. TRICKS: Play begins with the high bidder, and proceeds around the table to the left, 4 cards per trick. Pinochle (queen of spades and jack of diamonds) is 4 points, or 30 points for double pinochle (two of each). A run (or straight) in the trump suit is worth 15 points. MELDING: Players get points by showing various card combinations. High bidder names the trump suit for the hand and optionally exchanges cards with her partner. A typical high bid is 35 points (for 48 cards) or 60 (for 80 cards). Players who pass are out of the bidding for that hand. Player to the dealer's left is required to bid, and bidding proceeds to the left. In this version, one human player (South) plays with a computer partner (North) and two computer opponents (West and East).īIDDING: Each player bids the number of points she thinks she can make with her hand. Players score points by melding various card combinations and by taking tricks. The game consists of a repeating sequence of bidding (for the right to name the trump suit and optionally to pass cards), melding, and trick-taking. Pinochle is a card game played with a 48- or 80-card deck of 9s, 10s, jacks, queens, kings and aces. Also available in the App Store is a paid version with NO advertising: Pinochle Gold. Pinochle is updated frequently with user-suggested features and AI improvements. Play single- or double-deck with configurable options including meld bids and shoot the moon. Full-featured, ad-supported pinochle app for iPhone and iPad.
