Variations Double Deck Pinochle has apparently been played since the 's. Variations in Bidding Procedure Some players allow any number to be bid from 50 up. Exchanging Cards and Choosing Trumps A common variation allows cards to be exchanged between the partners on the bidding side. Variations in scoring Multiple meld scores These vary quite a lot. Many books give a lower score of 45 for triple pinochle but a higher score of for quadruple pinochle instead of 60 and I have been told that some of the on-line Pinochle servers, such as Yahoo, also follow this system.
Book versions also tend to give no bonus for a multiple run, so that a double run counts 30, a triple run 45, and a quadruple run On the other hand some players increase the scores for all triple and quadruple melds. Toby Thomas's variation below is an example of this.
Pinochle 14 Some players score 14 instead of 4 for a single Pinochle. Double, triple and quadruple pinochle are still 30, 60 and 90 information posted by Kit McCormick to rec.
However some players give a roundhouse a higher score of Details can be found in their Tournament Rules archive copy. Minimum 20 to score Some play that meld can only be scored by a side whose meld is worth at least 20 points. Before laying down their meld each player announces its value, and if the total for a team is less than 20, they cannot lay down or score any meld for that hand.
Furthermore, a team that does not take at least 20 points in the play cannot score anything for the hand - their meld is disregarded. If the bidding side fails to reach 20 in meld they automatically lose the bid without playing, but the bidder must still name a trump suit and in this case the opposing team score their meld provided that it is worth at least 20, without the requirement to take at least 20 in tricks.
If the bidding team takes less than 20 points in tricks, the bid automatically fails however much meld they had and their bid is subtracted from their score. Opponents' score when bidder surrenders If it is evident before play begins that the bidding side cannot make their bid, either because the bidder does not have a marriage and so cannot make trumps, or because having made trumps, the bidding side has less than 20 meld if playing that at least 20 is needed to score , or because their meld is more than 50 short of their bid.
The bidding side just subtracts the value bid from their score, but their are several variations on what the opponents score: The cards are not played and the opponents score nothing.
The cards are not played and the opponents score their meld if it is at least The cards are not played and the opponents score 25 for cards, plus their meld if at least The cards are not played and the opponents score 50 for cards, plus their meld if at least If trumps have been made, the cards are played and the opponents score as usual according to the tricks they win.
This is in fact the older way of scoring, but most people now use the lower scores given above. According to a post to rec. If you have an extra Royal Marriage alongside a trump run, you are allowed to count the multiple marriage in addition to the run.
You may bid by ones until you reach 50; bids above 50 must be multiples of 5 55, 60, 65 etc. Card Exchange Before choosing the trump suit, the high bidder receives three cards from his partner. The bidder must name a suit he would like to receive and his partner must give him 3 cards of that suit if he has them.
If the partner has fewer than 3 cards of the suit requested, he must pass any cards he has in the requested suit, plus other card s of his choice to complete the 3 card pass. The partner passes the three cards face down to the bidder, who looks at them, adds them to his hand, and then passes any three cards back to his partner, also face down.
Whoever won the trick gets to lead the next one. This goes on until all the cards are gone. At the end of the round of hand play, both teams count the number of "counters" Aces, 10's and Kings in the tricks they won. Each counter gives a point, and winning the last trick also gives a point. Add this number to the meld points to get a total. Teams will continue playing hands until one passes points.

Afterwards, the player who made the bid discards any 3 of their un-melded cards. Normal play then proceeds. The point, melding, and trick taking rules from Classic Pinochle apply.

When you have meld do you have to take a point to keep it? If you take one with out any points in it do you save your meld. I played with a new group yesterday and they insist their rules are correct. The winner of the twelfth trick may meld if possible, and then must draw the last face-down card of the stock. They show this card to their opponent, who draws the trump card or the dix, if the exchange has been made.
The winner of the preceding trick now leads, and the rules of the play are as follows: each player must follow suit to the card led if possible, and must try to win when a trump is led by playing a higher trump. A player who cannot follow suit must trump if they have a trump.
In this manner the last 12 tricks are played, after which the players count and score the points they have won in their tricks and melds. The score may be kept with pencil and paper, or chips may be used. If chips are used, there may be a central pile from which each player draws enough chips to represent the number of points he scores.
Alternatively, each player may be provided with chips representing , from which the appropriate chips are removed as points are scored. Melds are scored when they are made. Scores for cards taken in tricks are added after the play is complete and the cards are counted. In this count, 7 points or more count as Example: 87 points count as If one player scores and the other , or if each scores , they count only each; the other 10 points are lost.
Alternatively, a match can be played to 1, points, playing a series of deals. When one player has scored 1, or more, and the other player less than 1,, the former wins the game. If at the end of the play of any hand each player has 1, or more, play continues for a game of 1,, even if one player has, for example, 1,, while the other has only 1, If both players go over 1, at the end of the hand, the play continues for a 1,point game, and so on.
However, this seldom happens because either player has the right, during the play, to "declare themselves out. Declaring Out. At any time during the play, a player may "declare out. If, in fact, the player has points or more, they wins the game - even if the opponent has more. If the claimant has fewer than 1, points, they lose the game. If the game has been increased to 1, points, 1, points, or a higher score, a player may declare out at that figure.
The first 12 tricks you need not to follow suit and you need not to win tricks. By doing so you now have better cards for melding points on the next turn. If a trump card is led you must play a higher trump if possible. I prefer using simplified scoring.
