Pinochle Classic Courses

Pinochle Classic has been around for generations and is one of the most beloved card games in American culture. Played with two decks that contain 48 cards each, players meld their cards and pile up points. Players of Pinochle Classic can choose to play with either 4 or 6 players and players bid to become the lone winner. There is no drawing of cards, but melding and bidding are necessary. Melding is the process of putting together runs, flushes, double runs, and other melds, to accumulate points. Players must bid to get the most tricks. As the tricks are won, they are added to the player’s score. The scoring is done on a point basis, with each meld getting a certain number of points. The winner is the player who accumulates the most points. Pinochle Classic is great for family night and can be played for hours for those who really enjoy it. With strategy and patience, anyone can become a pro at the game and become a master of trick-taking.
