Pinochle

Double deck Pinochle: We do not play single deck

Exchange and collect various combinations of cards in order to score as many points as possible in accordance with an opening "bid." The object of the game is to accumulate points by either winning tricks, or by melding a combination of cards. The meld of the Jack of Diamonds and the Queen of Spades is known as “Pinochle”, and scores 40 points.  We do not play single deck pinochle.
