BIDDING: Each player bids the number of points she thinks she can make with her hand. In this version, one human player (South) plays with a computer partner (North) and two computer opponents (West and East). Players score points by melding various card combinations and by taking tricks. 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. Pinochle is a card game played with a 48- or 80-card deck of 9s, 10s, jacks, queens, kings and aces. To try before you buy, see our free, ad-supported Pinochle app. Pinochle Gold has more tabletops and more card back options than Pinochle Plus and is updated frequently with user-suggested features and AI improvements. Play single- or double-deck with configurable options, including meld bids and shoot the moon. This is a no-ads version of the first and most popular pinochle app for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac.
