Description
Pinochle is a classic trick-taking card game that's easy to learn and fun to play with 2 to 4 players. In just 45 minutes, you'll be bidding on points, forming melds, and taking tricks to outscore your opponents. What sets Pinochle apart is its unique blend of auction-style bidding, melding, and trick-taking gameplay. Before playing the hands, players form runs, marriages, and sets to add to their score, making strategy and planning key to winning. As a team-based game, Pinochle is all about working together to make your bid and take down your opponents. With its modified standard deck and special rules, such as requiring players to trump when void and over-trump when possible, Pinochle offers a fresh twist on traditional card games. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to card games, Pinochle's simplicity and social gameplay make it an excellent choice for game nights with friends and family.
