Pinochle rules

Bid, reveal melds, then win valuable cards.

How to play

  1. Two copies of nine through ace make a 48-card deck. Opposite seats are partners.
  2. Bid or pass; the high bidder selects trump. Each side reveals its scoring melds.
  3. Follow suit and trump when required. Rank order is ace, ten, king, queen, jack, nine.
  4. Count melds and trick points, including the last-trick bonus. Meet the contract to keep the points.
