Are pinochle players playing with a full deck?
G’day Somnium, They are for pinochle. According to Wikipedia, “A Pinochle deck consists of two copies of each of the 9, 10, jack, queen, king, and ace cards of all four suits. Aces are always considered high. Pinochle follows the standard card ordering with the exception of the 10 being second highest. The complete ordering from highest to lowest is A, 10, K, Q, J, 9. Variants of Pinochle can be played with three, five, six, eight or more players. These larger variations can combine two Pinochle decks called a “double deck”.” So not are they playing from a full deck, they sometimes play with a double deck. :>) Regards Reference Wikipedia Pinochle http://en.wikipedia.
