I would like to know if anyone else has noticed these issues: I have requested several changes and no action has been taken. It is the best pinochle game that I have found in the App Store. I have been playing this game for almost a year now. 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. If your partner bids 10 above what the bid is that’s telling you he has a lot of meld. Round Robin (KQJ) in every suit 32 points (With a Run 43 points) Round House (KQ) in every suit 24 points (With a Run 35 points) Jacks Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Jacks in every suit 4 points 2x(Forty Jacks) 40 points Queens Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Queens in every suit 6 points 2x(Sixty Queens) 60 points Kings Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) King in every suit 8 points 2x(Eighty Kings) 80 points Run (A,10,K,Q,J) in Trump suit 15 points (+4 points for every extra marriage)Īces Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Ace in every suit 10 points 2x(Thousand aces) 100 points Marriage (KQ) in Any suit 2 points (4 points if Trump suit) So here’s a cheat sheet for all you beginners Only thing is people could be very toxic on here because they can speak to you via microphone on their phone. This app has a very active table that plays by prison rules unlike other apps that play with 9’s. If we are playing last and we can take the trick then we play our lowest card that can take the trick.I learned Pinochle in Prison, we don’t play with 9’s. If we do have play options that could beat what is currently in the trick pile, then we play our highest winning card unless we are playing the last trick card. If we don't have a play that can beat what is currently in the trick pile, then if our partner played the current highest trick card then we play our lowest counter. Otherwise, play the highest non trump card that is guaranteed to take the trick. Remembering what has been played and what was shown during passing and melding, play the highest trump card that is guaranteed to take the trick. If any play results in an average round score that is more than half a point lower than the highest average play, then remove it from the options considered. Finally, if necessary, we would choose to pass the cards that contribute the least amount of points to our meld score.įirst remove bad options: For each legal play, simulate the rest of the round 200 times with random deals of the unseen cards. Then prefer non-trump kings, then non-trump queens, then jack of diamonds (except if just received from partner), then lowest non-trump cards, then lowest trump cards. Then pass the cards that contribute the least amount of points to our meld score.įirst prefer not to pass any cards that result in a meld score for our hand. Then prefer queen of spades or jack of diamonds. Then, prefer to pass highest trump cards (except 9's of trump). Set the maximum willing bid at the round score achieved in more than 75% of the simulations.įirst prefer not to pass any cards that result in a meld score for your hand. Simulate many rounds with cards randomly dealt to standard strategy players. If we are playing last and we can take the trick then we play our lowest card that can take the trick.
