Pinochle

A familiar card game, with room to choose your rules

Pinochle is a digital version of the trick-taking card game, suited to players who want a quick solo match or a game with other people. It supports single-deck and double-deck play, with games for three or four players. If you already know your preferred style of Pinochle, options for bidding, passing cards and scoring let you adjust the game, including regional variations.

Play alone or find a table

When you have a few minutes but no one else to play with, you can take on computer opponents offline. For online multiplayer, rating-based matching aims to pair you with players at a similar skill level. You can also set up friendly games with friends or relatives, making it easier to bring a familiar card-table routine to a phone.

Make the table your own

Small choices help keep repeated games comfortable: change player names and avatars, pick from several card decks, and switch the game’s colour style. Both portrait and landscape orientations are supported, so you can use the layout that suits how you hold your device. Statistics offer a way to keep track of your play over time.
