During the meld phase, the total meld points for each team are computed. If a team does not have at least 20 meld points , they will not earn any meld points at all! Also, if the bidding team does not have 20 meld, they forfeit the hand, and their bid is subtracted from their score! Regardless, their opponents will earn their meld, provided it is worth at least 20 points.
Meld patterns are given in the following table:. A specific card in your hand may belong to more than one meld of different meld types, but it cannot belong to more than one meld within a meld type. You must have an extra King and Queen of that suit to make up a Royal Marriage meld. Do not be too concerned about computing melds. Use the "Show Meld" button to show all melds in your hand that do not require a trump suit.
The only melds that you will need to find on your own are Runs and Royal Marriages. The player who won the bid starts the trick by playing any card, the lead card, from their hand. Play continues in clockwise order. When following with a card, you must play a card that outranks the highest ranking card in the trick. This is called "crawling". If you do not have any Diamonds, but do have a card in the trump suit, you must play a trump card.
If there are any trump cards in the trick already, you must play a trump card that outranks that card, if possible. Otherwise you must play some other trump card. If you have no cards that outrank cards in the trick, you may play any card in your hand. After all 4 players have played a card, the trick is taken by whomever played the highest ranking card. Remember that trump cards outrank all other suits. The trick-taker is awarded 1 point for each Ace, 10, or King in the trick.
Other cards are not counted. For example, if there is 1 Jack in the pile, and 2 Aces, and a Queen, then the trick-taker is awarded 2 points. The trick winner starts the next trick. The team which takes the last trick gets 2 bonus points, so that the total of both team's trick points always sums to After each hand, scores are calculated for each team by adding up the teammate's meld points and trick-taking points.
Rule of 20 A team with less than 20 meld does not score any meld points. If the bid-winner's team does not have at least 20 meld points, their bid is subtracted from their score! In this case, their opponent will score meld points, but only if they have 20 meld points or more. A team that does not take at least 20 points during the trick-taking portion of the game cannot take any points at all; even their meld points are not counted. If the bid-winner's team does not take at least 20 points during the trick-taking portion of the game, their bid is subtracted from their score!
If the bid-winner's opponents did not have 20 meld points, they may still score points during the trick-taking part of the game. They are only awarded trick points if they score 20 or more points from their tricks. The first team to reach points wins!. If both teams reach points on the same hand, then the winner is the high-scoring team. If they are tied, the winner is the bidding team. However, if the "bidder out" option was chosen, and both teams reach on the same hand, then the bidding side wins , even if their score is lower than their opponents.
For example if the bidding side has points and the other team has , then the bidding side still wins. Double deck Pinochle is derived from Pinochle, which comes from a 19th-century French card game called Bezique.

Strategy Signalling via a "meld" bid In Pinochle, it is a valid strategy to use your bid to signal something about your hand to your partner. Partners often develop unique systems for signalling via bidding, but a commonly used pattern works as follows: If a player opens with a bid of 50, it usually means they want to choose trump.
If their partner is the dealer, it may also mean that they have a marriage, and are offering to choose trump in order to save their partner from being forced to choose trump. Remember that if the dealer is forced to choose trump but does not have a marriage, their team immediately gets 50 points deducted from their score! An opening bid of 51 means you want to choose trump in a specific suit and also have some Aces in other suits so the hand is reasonably strong.
An opening bid of 52 or more is an indication of the "trumpless" meld points in the player's hand i. Similarly, 53 bid indicates 30 meld, etc. If a player bids 1 more than the previous bidder, it indicates a desire to choose trump. If a player bids 2, 3, 4, For example, suppose the first player bid 53 to show they have 30 meld. If you have 40 trumpless meld, you then bid 57 4 extra points indicates 40 meld.
Bids of 60 or more are usually made to force other players out of the bidding. Remember that you are required to score your bid in meld and trick points, so bid wisely! If you bid 60, and only take 20 points in tricks, you must have 40 meld points between you and your partner to make up the difference.
