Description

A game for three to four (five?) players and a Pinochle deck.

Object:

* Make 200 or more points in bid. You do this by taking enough tricks to make your bid.
* Alternately, you can force the Gnome to make 350 or more points (thereby ending the game) and you'll win if you have more points than any other player.

Basically this is a trick-tacking, bidding game played with a Pinochle deck. It has a few twists -- the maximum points you can win in a round is what you bid, the Trump is determined randomly, jokers are included as semi-wild cards, and the lowest cards plus the jokers are distributed each round to all the players.
