Yes, I have seen (ONCE) 2 double runs dealt, one to each side. Got a triple pinochle? Even on Yahoo, where it's only 45, that's going to be the dominant meld. I'm biased, but IMO it stops being anything close to a serious card game.Īnd typically it doesn't matter (assuming no card passing). That's RADICALLY different, as now the bidding system has to be geared to trump signals, and the game becomes making those double runs from the pass. The one variant I know of, is whether to pass cards or not.
Note that the triple pinochle is probably the ONLY one you're ever likely to see someone did an analysis showing triple aces around has a probability of about 1 in 3,000,000. If you are going to try to build something, the first step is a solid base(s).ĩ8% of the rules *are* standard the play rules are standard, and most of the meld values are standard. ToreadorElder Double-deck Pinochle, but mainstream rule sets should be solidified.Ĭareful consideration in naming the versions might improve interest in pinochle. Jailhouse Double-deck Pinochle (where all the blatantly-cheating bids are allowed) Is it possible to identify the world's most popular styles of pinochle and name them? How many might that be? I am not saying we use names like: Wouldn't life be easier to sit at a table with complete strangers and say "Tonight, we are playing Denver Double-deck Pinochle", everyone nod in acknowledgement, and begin to play. I hate having to hash out all the rules with new players or when the shoe is on the other foot, when I have to ask tens of questions about the rules. Now, I have done virtually no research into the varieties of pinochle, but as far as I know there are no categorical varieties of pinochle that predetermine the bidding and rule sets. If I had any doubts, I might even ask which type of poker: pot-limit, turbo, hi-lo, etc. Pinochle needs standards! If someone was to invite me to play in a poker game, my assumption would be that the game was Texas No Limit Hold'em as it is the version that is most popular. The one that can/does happen intermittently, a triple pinochle, has at least 3 separate 's shown as 60 and 90, but Yahoo only gives 45.
The common ones (marriage, run, pinochle, X's around) and the occasionals (double of any of the above) are consistent, I believe, but when you get to the rare triples like triple aces or triple run, they may vary considerably.
