Pinochle - Online & offline 12+

I play both canasta and pinochle mostly online with friends. I love the flexibility to change the settings to change up the game. For instance we just changed the value of all double marriages in all suits to 30 points. We have created a table online that we can easily access with our desired settings thus making it very easy for everyone to access the game. We pick certain times weekly and set up a conference call so we can talk and play the game at the same time.
Settings are easy to access. You can play off line also as well as games with random people but I don’t do that very often. Love the look of the game on the screen. After trump is set all trumps are moved to one end of your hand to remind you what is trump. You can go back a few hands to see what was played and I wish that could be turned off. I haven’t played the other games yet. Great game application! Thanks

I learned Pinochle in Prison, we don’t play with 9’s. This app has a very active table that plays by prison rules unlike other apps that play with 9’s. Only thing is people could be very toxic on here because they can speak to you via microphone on their phone. So here’s a cheat sheet for all you beginners

Pinochle (Q♠️,J♦️) 4 points/ 30 points/ 90 points (1x/2x/3x)

Marriage (KQ) in Any suit 2 points (4 points if Trump suit)

Run (A,10,K,Q,J) in Trump suit 15 points (+4 points for every extra marriage)

Aces Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Ace in every suit 10 points 2x(Thousand aces) 100 points

Kings Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) King in every suit 8 points 2x(Eighty Kings) 80 points

Queens Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Queens in every suit 6 points 2x(Sixty Queens) 60 points

Jacks Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Jacks in every suit 4 points 2x(Forty Jacks) 40 points

Round House (KQ) in every suit 24 points (With a Run 35 points)

Round Robin (KQJ) in every suit 32 points (With a Run 43 points)

If your partner bids 10 above what the bid is that’s telling you he has a lot of meld. For instance bid is 65 your partner says 75 that means he has meld to back you up so take the bid if you got a good hand but not a lot of meld.

I have been playing this game for almost a year now. It is the best pinochle game that I have found in the App Store. I have requested several changes and no action has been taken. I would like to know if anyone else has noticed these issues:
My issues: 1 - when the opponent is trumping a suit, the computer continues to play back the suit that is being trumped, allowing the opposite team to score more points, which could potentially cause the bidding team to be set or miss their bid. It doesn’t matter which team is trumping, that is what happens. The correction- don’t feed the person trumping, play a different suit to try and reach your partner.
2- When the opponent calls a trump, when my partner gets in to play, if they have aces in the trump, they play all of their aces. We don’t want to help the other team, this gives them an advantage because they now know where the power for the hand is.
The correction - they should only lead with their aces in trump if they only have a very few trump.
Please fix, I like this game.
