Bicycle Playing Cards - Pinochle Jumbo
Bicycle® Pinochle playing cards are a special deck created especially for the enjoyment of the Pinochle game. Rooted in family tradition, Pinochle is similar to Bridge or Chess in that it rewards the player who takes chances and isn't afraid of risk.
Pinochle is played with a modified standard deck. It consists of a 48 card deck with all 2-8's removed and two of each other card (a Pinochle deck can be made by combining two 52 card decks and removing all 2-8's).
Pinochle has several unique elements not found in other trick taking games:
- Before playing the hands, players form melds (runs, marriages, pinochle, sets) which are added to their score.
- Played with a double (and sometimes quadruple) deck of cards: A 10 K Q J 9
- Players are required to trump when void and over trump if they can.
