How to Play Pinochle

Pinochle is a game of rounds, in which there are stages of playing that continue until one team reaches 1500 points. This version of Pinochle involves four players, two on each team, and a 48-card deck. This deck is composed of nines, tens, jacks, queens, kings, and aces from two regular decks, so that you end up with eight of each type in total.
