Published 1800


Pinochle is a classic trick-taking card games played in rounds. It derives from the French game bezique and was brought to the U.S. by German immigrants. Pinochle is traditionally a two-player game. Enthusiastic players have since created many interesting variations of Pinochle, including good versions for three players, four players (with partners, some including bidding subtleties incorporated from Bridge), and more.
