Multiplayer Pinochle

This game is a 4-player card game where you team up with the opposite player to form two partnerships. The game is played with 48 cards from two decks of standard playing cards where 2's to 8's are removed. The card ranks range from A-10-K-Q-J-9. Each player is dealt 12 cards, and the bidding phase begins.

The dealer must make a bid by predicting the total points their team can earn in the current hand. The bidding must be a multiple of 10 and must be greater than the previous bid. You can click the Pass button if you don't wish to bid during your turn, but you must make your choice within the given time limit, or you will lose. If all players pass after the last bid, the player who made the bid becomes the winner and can select a suit as the trump for the current hand.

After the bidding phase, the melding phase begins, where points can be earned by forming special patterns with the cards in your hand. These patterns include a Run (A, 10, K, Q, and J of the trump suit), a Double Run (A, A, 10, 10, K, K, Q, Q, J, and J of the trump suit), a Marriage (K and Q of the same suit), a Trump Marriage (K and Q of the trump suit), a Dix (9 of the trump suit), an Aces Around (4 A's of different suits), a Kings Around (4 K's of different suits), a Queens Around (4 Q's of different suits), a Jacks Around (4 J's of different suits), a Double Around (8 A's, K's, Q's, or J's), a Pinochle (J of diamonds and Q of spades), and a Double Pinochle (both J's of diamonds and both Q's of spades).

However, each player can only use one card for each pattern, and the points earned depend on the meld formed. If you want to predict your score correctly, this game is perfect for you!
