Description

This is a 5-handed trick-taking card game app that will be easy to learn for all pinochle players. Growing up in a house full of pinochle players, there were many times we had exactly 5 players -- so my family invented this 5-handed game. It uses a double pinochle deck with 9s removed. Each player is dealt 16 cards, and the bidding begins at 40, 45, or 50.

After years of trial and error, Dad and I agreed on a good method for choosing the high bidder's partner: After someone wins the bidding and names trump, four 9s are dealt face down to the center of the table. Each player (but not the bid winner) flips over a 9. In this app, you can tap a 9 yourself, or let the robots pick theirs first. The player whose 9 suit matches the bid winner's trump suit becomes the bid winner's partner for that hand. The other 3 players form a team to oppose them. (In this app, the bidding team is blue, their opponents are yellow.)

The high bidder and their partner exchange 4 cards. Then everyone lays down meld and plays tricks. The bidding team's meld and tricks are weighed against their high bid, and the 2 players will lose the bid amount if they fall short, or add their meld and tricks to both players' scores if they meet or exceed the bid. The non-bidding team's meld and tricks are added to each of those 3 players' scores.

Five-handed pinochle is probably my favorite version of pinochle. The double deck and passing cards result in great hands, so the bidding can go high. It's lots of fun and can be risky -- you don't know who your partner is until after you've bid and named trump. Since each player's score is calculated separately, the game ends (after 5 hands) with usually just one winner. Good luck!

Dave

Spyde087,
You didn’t invent 5-handed pinochle, sorry.
I learned this from my German grandparents, aunts and uncles. They brought it over before WWII. Only difference is that the winning bidder’s partner is the next player with an ace of trump. Otherwise, this brings back tons of fond memories. First time I learned to cuss in German was watching them play, lol. Thanks.
watertreatment guy,
Bidding is rigged
When you are picking cards to choose a partner and you are not the high bidder, the app will quickly pick a partner that has exactly what is needed for a super hand. Not a friendly game at all. I would say it cheats.

Like concept
Game could be fun but the dealing is ridiculous to the human. Played 30 hands and of 16 ace never saw more than 2. Had to pass most hands which is borrring. Just wanted to compete but spent most of my time watching.
Bev Ann Perry,
Please fix
This app is always locking. Can’t undo unless I shut my iPad completely down. Pleas fix!!!!
