Bid, meld and tricks
After bidding, each side lays down and scores its meld. Then the hand is played out and each side counts the points in the tricks it took. The bidding side adds meld and tricks; if the sum reaches the bid they keep it, and if it falls short they lose the amount of the bid instead. The other side keeps what it earned.
Single or double deck
Point values and targets differ between single-deck and double-deck pinochle, and between regions. The sheet doesn't assume either: write your target at the top and play on.
Frequently Asked Questions

The bidding side loses the amount of its bid, and its meld for that hand doesn't count.

Yes. Set Teams to 3 and type each player's name.
What do you play Pinochle to?
Groups set their own target; 150 is a common one for single-deck partnership games.
Printing tips
- Print a stack. Set Pages in PDF to 10 or 20 and keep a pad in the game box.
- Large print for easier reading. Bigger type and taller rows help older players and anyone scoring across the table.
- Landscape for big groups. With six or more players, landscape gives every column more room to write.
