There are several ways to count up the points for play, but they add up to 250 points under all methods. Points are scored based on the play of the hand. So, if player A leads clubs, and player B and C have no clubs, both player B and C must ruff, and player C must overruff player B if possible.
Further, when a previous player has ruffed (played a trump because it was not possible to follow suit) and you also must ruff, you must overruff if possible. If you have neither of these cards, you may play any trump you wish, and if out of trump you may play any card you wish. So, if the trump king is led, you must play the ten or ace if you are next to play. When trump is led or played, you must beat the previous card played. Otherwise, each player must trump if possible. Each player must follow suit if possible. The high bidder makes the first lead, which must be a trump. As a shortcut, this is called a "roundtable" or "the Round House".Īs normal with trick-taking games, the winner of each trick leads to the next. As a shorthand, some people divide all scores by 10 points.Īlso note that a marriage in each suit is worth 240 total points. Thus, K♥ K♥ Q♥ only counts as one marriage, while K♠ Q♠ J♦ counts as both a marriage and a pinochle. "Double Pinochle" - both Jacks of Diamonds and both Queens of Spades ( J♦ Q♠ J♦ Q♠) - 300 points.Įach card may be used in at most one meld of each class. "Pinochle" - Jack of Diamonds and Queen of Spades ( J♦ Q♠) - 40 points. "Flush", "Family" or "Run" - A 10 K Q J of trump suit - 150 points "Marriage" - King and Queen of nontrump suit - 20 points "Trump Marriage" - King and Queen of trump suit - 40 points In addition, all eight Aces, Kings, Queens or Jacks is called a double round worth 10 times the value of a single around, for instance, Kings double around is worth 800 points. Also, there is no "Nines around" or "Tens around". For example, A♠ A♥ A♥ A♣ does not qualify for "Aces around" because you are missing A♦. It is important that they are different suits. "40 Jacks" or "Jack around" - 4 jacks of different suits ( J♦ J♠ J♥ J♣) - 40 points "60 Queens" or "Queens around" - 4 queens of different suits ( Q♦ Q♠ Q♥ Q♣) - 60 points "80 Kings" or "Kings around" - 4 kings of different suits ( K♦ K♠ K♥ K♣) - 80 points "100 Aces" or "Aces around" - 4 aces of different suits ( A♦ A♠ A♥ A♣) - 100 points A player may choose to not meld a combination, giving up points while denying others the information. Possession of these combinations adds points to one's score, and also confers partial information about one's hand to one's teammate and opponents. Meld consists of displaying specific combinations of cards. If all players other than the dealer pass, the dealer names trump at a "price" usually one less than the minimum bid.
A player who has not yet "passed" has the option of exceeding the current highest bid, or "passing". Bidding starts at a defined minimum level (150 for four handed pinochle). What is being bid on is the right to name a suit "trump", or higher ranking than all other suits in the taking of tricks. Each hand is played in three phases: bidding, melds, and tricks. Hands are played until a player or team reaches 1000 points. In general, dealing and play proceed from right to left. Variants of pinochle can be played by two, three, four, five or six players. This makes the complete ordering of ranks, from highest to lowest, A 10 K Q J 9. The ordering of the ranks also differs slightly, with the 10 ranking above the face cards.
