There are four players; partners sit across from each other.  \nThe deck consists of 80 cards; containing four Aces, Tens, Kings, Queens and Jacks in each of the four suits,  Spades  Hearts,  Clubs and  Diamonds. This deck can be formed by mixing together two normal Pinochle decks, having thrown out the nines, or from four regular 52 card decks from which you throw out all the numbered cards of 2 through 9.  \nCards are ranked from the Ace being high then 10, King, Queen and Jack.  \nIdea of the Game  \nAfter the deal there is bidding (an auction) in which players bid the total number of points they predict their team can achieve. Whoever bids highest, called the declarer, has the privilege of choosing trump and leading to the first trick. Points or score is scored in two ways:  \n1. By declaring and showing meld (combinations of cards held in a player ’s hand) . Each team must have a minimum of 20 to be “on the board”(have their meld recorded) . They must also pull a minimum of 20 counter points to have their meld added to their score.  \n2. By winning a minimum of 20 counter points (Aces, Tens and Kings) in tricks at one point each (there is a total of 48 and two bonus points for the last trick for an overall hand total of 50.)  \n3. The object of the high bidder's team,“declarers,” is to win at least as many total points asthe amount they bid.  \nThe object of the other team is to win at least 20 counter points (so they get a score for that hand) and to save their meld (if meld was over 20) . If they can keep the other team from getting 20 counter points or the amount needed that would equal their bid, it would be a “set” and the declarers team would get their bid subtracted from their score.  \nThe game is won by the first team to achieve a score of 500 or more. If both sides reach 500 on the same hand, the bidding side wins. Some play for only 250 or four deals / hands.  \nPlay of the Game  \nThe game consists of the “playing” of hands. Each hand is divided into 7 actions:  \n1. Deal 2. Meld counting 3. Bidding 4. Meld declaration 5. Playing the hand 6. Count 7. Record  \n1. Deal  \nDeal and play are clockwise. All the cards are dealt to the players, so that everyone has 20. Dealing practices vary; common methods are 4 cards at a time, 5 cards at a time, 2 and 3 cards dealt alternately or 2 cards to each player, and then the remainder at 3 at a time.  \n2. Meld counting  \nMeld is scored for combinations of cards in the hand of each player. Each team must have a minimum of 20 meld to get on the board.  \nThe point scores for meld are given in the following table:  \n\n| Type | Combination | Single | Double | Triple | Quadruple |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Type I\u003Cbr>Runs and\u003Cbr>Marriages | Run-Ace, Ten, King, Queen and Jack\u003Cbr>“only if Trump” | 15 | 150 | 300 | You\u003Cbr>Win! |\n|  | Marriage-King and Queen of the same suit (if Trump then double) | 2 / 4 | 4 / 8 | 6 / 12 | 8 / 16 |\n| Type II\u003Cbr>Pinochles | Pinochle-Jack of diamonds and Queen of spades | 4 | 30 | 90 | 300 |\n| Type III\u003Cbr>Arounds | Aces around – An Ace in each suit | 10 | 100 | 200 | 300 |\n|  | Kings around – A King in each suit | 8 | 80 | 160 | 240 |\n|  | Queens around – A Queen in each suit | 6 | 60 | 120 | 180 |\n|  | Jacks around – A Jack in each suit | 4 | 40 | 80 | 120 |\n| NOTE | Tens around – are not worth anything. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |\n\nA Round House or Round Robin (K & Q of each suit) is 24 meld (Queens = 6, Kings = 8, three non trump marriages = 6 and a marriage in trump = 4) .  \nA 19 pounder or a run with an extra marriage is 19 meld, two extra marriages is 23.  \nJacks and Queens around are 14 meld (jacks = 4, queens = 6 and a pinnacle is 4) .  \nNote: A run in a suit other than trump is not worth anything more than the marriage score (2) .  \nThere are three types of meld. I. Runs and Marriages: II. Pinochles: and III.
