    Description

    Pinochle has several unique elements not found in other trick taking games:
    - Before playing the hands, players form melds (runs, marriages, pinochle, sets) which are added to their score.
    - Played with a double (and sometimes quadruple) deck of cards: A 10 K Q J 9
    - Players are required trump when void and over trump if they can.

    The original version of Pinochle is a two-handed version which is derived from the virtually identical Bezique.

    The game was modified for more players with several popular variants including Partnership Pinochle, Partnership Auction Pinochle, and Double Pack Pinochle (Partnership).

    (The origin date listed for this game is approximate.)
