2 player pinochle rules7/23/2023 Once a card has been melded and placed on the table, it may be played to a trick as though it were in the holder’s hand however, after it has been played, it may no longer be used to form a new meld. Melding is subject to the following restrictions: 1) Only one meld may be made in a turn. 2) For each meld, at least one card must be taken from the hand and placed on the table. 3) A card once melded may be melded again, only in a different class, or in a higher-scoring meld of the same class. A player makes a meld by placing the cards face up on the table, where they remain until the player wishes to play them, or until the stock is exhausted. It is not necessary to follow suit.Īfter each trick, the players draw a card from the top of the stock to restore their hand to 12 cards the winner of the trick draws first.Īfter winning a trick, but before drawing from the stock, a player may meld any one of the combinations that have value, as described above. The leader may lead any card, and the opponent may play any card. When any other suit is led, the card led wins unless the opponent plays a higher card of the same suit or a trump. When a trump is led, it wins the trick unless the opponent plays a higher trump. The non-dealer leads the first trick, then the winner of each trick leads next. The remainder of the pack forms the stock and is placed face downĮach trick consists of a lead and a play. The next card is turned up and placed on the table it is the trump card and every card of that suit is a trump. The dealers Deals 12 cards to each player three or four cards at a time.
