About Cutthroat Pinochle

Cutthroat is a popular Pinochle variation for three players. Unlike most partnership Pinochle games, Cutthroat pits each player against one another, every man for himself. It’s a fast-paced, highly competitive, and very strategic card game, requiring careful planning, good memory and discipline.

In this game, you can play online against real people or choose between 8 computer opponents, each with different skill levels and unique styles of playing. Each player is dealt 15 cards with 3 cards dealt face-down to the widow. Players bid after initial cards are dealt and the high bidder combines the widow cards to potentially form a stronger hand, then discarding the three weakest cards.

As of this release there are 12 options to customize game play to user preferences:

Number of Decks: Single|Double

Sound Effects: On|Off

Game Speed: Normal|Fast|Slow

Undo Button: On|Off

Must bid to win: On|Off

Minimum Trick Points: 0|1|2

Minimum Bid: 15|20|25

Bid Increment: 1|2|3

Point to Win: 75|100|150

Must Throw Higher Card: On|Off|Trumps

Must have marriage in trump: On|Off

Winner if multiple players make winning score

What are users saying about Cutthroat Pinochle

Q70%
by Q####:

I have never played pinochle where a player must still beat the lead card even after that card has been trumped. And I have never seen such a frequency in the wrong card being played out due to a miniature depiction of the hand.

The "Must bid to win" option I have set to ON but I am able to save meld and win without bidding. Good improvement to to AI, they dont just run all their aces now and also try to set the bidder much better.

ILOVE THIS GAME IT IS REALLY HARD TO STOP PLAYING EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IT

Graphics could be larger. I play on a small Android, and fingers are much larger then the cards. So gameplay can be difficult. Thanks for a great game.

Love it!!

K70%

My only problem is that this game does not allow you to meld triple queen of spade and triple jack of diamond for a score of 90. It also allows the opponent to make their bid with less than 20 points back when the option is set for 20. Fixing these would make this a 5 star app.

Why am I still playing at 1000 points? I just bid and won. Now in starting over at 115. What is this? The game play is ok. But the glitches and the random in game cheating is crazy. Try to figure it out. Would be a lot better with online game play. At 20-0 coming boring

Q70%
by Q####:

The must throw higher option makes no sense. One must always beat the trick/card thrown in suit or trump must be played. If trump is played and the player following is still playing in suit then trump negated having to play higher. If trump is being played by more than one player then if possible a higher card must be played, trump must be played when our of a suit. If no trump then throw off is allowed.

3 major things, you must score 20 points to save a bid. The A I's are terrible, when someone takes the bid the other two players are working together to set them but the computer players don't work like that. You should not be able to throw off in trump but they let you. Lastly if someone leads a non trump suit and it gets trumped the third person should be able to throw a low card in the non trump suit that was originally play and nor have to beat the card the firs person played. Bids start at 70.

I was hopeful when I saw a three handed pinochle game. Though am thoroughly disappointed with the bugs in it. Just quit a game, supposed to win at 300 points, when I broke 800 points.

This is better than any other I have played. I hope this comes to apple as well because all apple provides in this genre is garbage. Great app. Improvements can only make it excellent.

Makes you pick trump that you don't have marriage, will not you select suit that you do have. Opponents able to bid & play without marriage. Needs new opponents, boring & predictable.

Been looking for a cutthroat pinochle game. About time. Thank you. Now multi-player please? In the meantime, could you get the computer to play for the set? Also, the computer keeps playing all the A's of trump off the top and backseat driving. I'm happy to be playing though. Thanks again.

It would be nice to have the option to throw in a hand if you know you will not be able to make the bid, but otherwise it is pretty good

Doesnt give you the same cards out of the pot. It shows you cards and then when they appear in your hand they are different

Q70%
by Q####:

When the computer players get the bid the math isn't right. Last time I checked 12 plus 9 is 21 not 23
