A classic trick-taking card game where players bid on how many points they will score for the privilege of choosing trump. Pinochle is played with a modified standard deck consisting of 48 cards, omitting 2-8 cards, and featuring two copies of each remaining card. Players form melds before playing their hands, adding additional points to their score, and must follow specific rules for trumping and overtrumping during play.
