Pinochle is an ultimate trick-taking card game for 2 to 4 players, played with a 48-card Pinochle deck (consisting of two copies of cards ranked 9 through Ace in each suit). To accomplish this, use 2 decks of the same backs and use only Ace through 9. (some people play with no nines)

The scoring focuses on the points in the meld more than the tricks taken.  See the meld/point chart in the link below. Pinochle combines strategy, skill, and teamwork, making it a favorite among card game enthusiasts. Its mix of bidding, melding, and trick-taking provides layers of depth and excitement.
