How scoring works
Partnership Pinochle scores twice each hand. First the meld: the combinations each side lays down after trump is named, such as a run, marriages, pinochle, or a rank in every suit. Then the tricks: aces eleven, tens ten, kings four, queens three and jacks two, plus ten for the last trick, which always comes to two hundred and fifty.
The side that won the bid adds its meld and its trick points and needs them to reach the bid. If they do, they bank it all; if they fall short, they lose the whole bid instead. The other side always banks its own meld and tricks. Play to a thousand, comparing scores only at the end of a hand.
This is how Cards Royale scores Pinochle. The full rules are on the how to play Pinochle page.
