Single- and double-deck pinochle card game for Google Play.


Full-featured, ad-supported pinochle app for Google Play Store. Play single- or double-deck with configurable options including meld bids and shoot the moon.Pinochle is a card game played with a 48- or 80-card deck of 9s, 10s, jacks, queens, kings and aces. 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. Players score points by melding various card combinations and by taking tricks.In this version, one human player (South) plays with a computer partner (North) and two computer opponents (West and East).BIDDING: Each player bids the number of points she thinks she can make with her hand. Player to the dealers left is required to bid, and bidding proceeds to the left. Players who pass are out of the bidding for that hand. A typical high bid is 35 points (for 48 cards) or 60 (for 80 cards). High bidder names the trump suit for the hand and optionally exchanges cards with her partner.MELDING: Players get points by showing various card combinations. A run (or straight) in the trump suit is worth 15 points. Aces in all four suits is 10 points. Pinochle (queen of spades and jack of diamonds) is 4 points, or 30 points for double pinochle (two of each).TRICKS: Play begins with the high bidder, and proceeds around the table to the left, 4 cards per trick. Each trick has a winner, who gets 1 point per ace, ten or king.SCORING: If the high bidder fails to make the bid (his teams total meld plus trick points is less than the bid), the bid amount is subtracted from the team score. Play continues until one team goes out.beta build

The iPhone version of this is so good. This one is bad. Can't see all of my hand while playing.

Bad design, the ads that pop up at the top push down all of your cards so you can only see 5 of them...

My partner cards were getting stuck

Fun game, graphics are glitchy but game play but strategy with your partner and opponents is excellent

Michael W Bowman

My cards are unreadable now. I'm thinking because of the ads. I never minded the ads, but this is counterproductive for everyone.

I keep getting a misdeal but have no way of contacting you

The iphone ver. is bad, but this ver. is horrible. Devs should at least learn the rules and how to bid if they're going to write a card game. Dealer's left is NOT required to bid 50. One bid strategy is to dump the 50 bid on the dlr if dlr's partner refuses to save bid. No marr=board set, even on a dump. This ver. takes that away. Meld bids are wrong. Robot play is stupid. Ads and game spd make droid version unplayable, as others have said. Game options good. All else, very bad. Deleted
