Pinochele is a game of rounds in which there are stages of the game that continue until one team reaches 1500 points. This version includes four players, two from each team, and a 48-card deck. This deck consists of nines, tens, jacks, queens, kings and aces from two regular decks, so you end up with eight of each type.

Steps

1. 1 Sit across from your partner. Shuffle and deal all the cards so that each player has twelve cards.
2. 2 Start bidding.Bargaining just decide how many points you want to offer, usually depending on the value of the cards you have. The minimum bet is 250 points, and the bidding is made in multiples of 10. The one who makes the highest bet declares the trump suit, this is any card that wins.
3. 3 Start to unite.Merge it is the establishment of a combination of cards to score points. Pinochle has five different types of merges:
   • Pinochele - this is the jack of diamonds and the queen of spades. You can also get double Pinochelehaving both jacks and both queens.
   • Round is a row of four cards of the same value (for example, all aces) in four suits (heart, spades, crosses, tambourine). You can also collect around twice (all eight cards the same values) for 10 times points. However, in a circle and around, points are doubled if you have them in aces, kings, queens or jacks. Tens in a circle and nines in a circle around do not mean anything.
   • Marriage - this is the king and queen of the same suit (for example, both hearts). Marriage costs twice as much in the trump suit (mentioned above).
   • Launch ace, tens, king, queen, and Jack trump. If you have an extra trump king or queen (or both), it costs more points. But play in launch in a non-trump suit is worth nothing.
   • Dicks represents nine in suit. Dix is ​​worth 10 points, and gets its name from the word ("Dix" is French for "ten").
4. 4 Here's a guide for each combination:
   • Pinochel: 40 points
   • Double Pinoculars: 300 Points
   • Aces in a circle: 100 points
   • Double Ace in a Circle: 1000 Points
   • Kings in a circle: 80 points
   • Double king in a circle: 800 points
   • Queens in a circle: 60 points
   • Double queen in a circle: 600 points
   • Jackie in a circle: 40 points
   • Double Jack in a circle: 400 points
   • Marriage: 20 points
   • Trump marriage: 40 points
   • Launch: 150 points
   • Launch with extra king: 190 points
   • Launch with an extra queen: 190 points
   • Running with an extra king and additional queen: 230 points
   • Double start (all Trump Aces, Tens, Kings, Queens and Jackie): 1500 points
   • Dicks: 10 points
   • Coming together, remember that you have maybe there may be a single card needed for more than one combination, and when you place combinations, there may not be a card that is part of two of the same type. For example, you might have a queen as part of a marriage and also part of a pinochele, but not part of two marriages or two pinocheles at once.
5. 5 If the person who won the admission can make them common with the addition of admission with points. If their score is still more than 250 points less than they were in the bidding, they owe a forfeit, which is called there is a recruitment... This means that the stake is deducted from the points you received in previous rounds. Recruiting will make it harder for your team to win, but it's still a better option than going forward and to give additional points in favor of the opposing team.
6. 6 Now, with your remaining cards, you begin the "bribe" process. One of the remaining cards is placed on the trick to determine who gets the rest of the points. The person playing cards starts with the winner, and you "must" play the same suit as the person in front of you. If you cannot, you must play trump cards, and if you don’t have them, play in a way that you want to get rid of them. This will continue until all cards are gone. You will receive 10 points or zero points, whichever you put down below.
   • Ace, ten and King are worth 10 points each, while Queen, Jack and nine cost zero. However, a card in a suit is always worth more than a non-trump card. So if one person plays nine trump and three other all game aces, the first person wins, but nobody doesn't get a single point, that's just how it works.
   • Whoever wins, the first move is the first to play for the next move. The winner of the appointment will start the next appointment, and so on.
   • If there are 240 points to be won in the taker receiving phase, since there are 24 aces, tens and kings in each deck.In addition, whichever team would not win, the latter receive an additional 10 points for a total of 250.
7. 7 Combine your points with your partner and you will finish the first round of pinochele. Shuffle the cards and start again from the first step until one of the teams reaches 1500 points. This is also the time to trade players if you have more than four people, or play in different teams if you have multiple games played in a room.
