Pinochle is a trick-taking card game typically played with a 48-card deck, consisting of two copies of the 9, 10, jack, queen, king, and ace cards in each suit. It is usually played by four players in two partnerships, but variations exist for two or three players. The objective is to score points through winning tricks, forming melds (combinations of cards), and achieving specific contract goals. The game's strategic elements include bidding, card play, and communication between partners.
