Three people in it just for themselves. Each person bids independently, wins independently, etc. We might need to take the jacks out to keep our hands from becoming too large to handle. A three person double-deck Pinochle. That's like...sextuple Pinochle...or something. My head hurts now. If we can’t find a fourth, we could play a modified Double-Deck Pinochle.

I know Tim would love to play. So now we just need a 4th. A rematch sounds good to me. I know Tim would love to play. So now we just need a 4th.

Before that night I couldn't even spell Pinochle. Now, well, I still can't spell it, but at least now I have a vague notion of how to play it. It's a very interesting game full of wonder, mystery, and suspense...though still hard to spell. I'm up for a rematch whenever you're ready! I had a wonderful time at Game Night.

Chris and I had to concede after a bad bid that set us was followed by two poor hands of cards. Up til then the teams were running neck in neck. Jason and Chris were new to the game, but seemed to pick it up quickly. Mike kindly gave us pointers as we played, so we could all improve. I really enjoyed myself. I hadn't played Pinochle since we moved here from San Diego in 2003. I look forward to more games with this and other crews on future game nights. - Tina I had a blast playing Double-Deck Pinochle with Mike, Jason, and Chris.
