๐Ÿ‘‘ Pinochle

Free pinochle score keeper that knows the rules

Pinochle scoring has three parts, the bid, the meld and the counters taken in play, and one rule that decides every hand: the bidding side must reach its bid or lose it. Enter who won the bid and for how much, then each side's meld and counters, and the sheet scores the set or the save and keeps the running totals.

What is built in
  • Enter the bid, each side's meld and counters; sets are scored for you
  • Partnership or three-handed
  • Modern (25 counters) or classic (250) counting
  • House rules: take a trick to save meld, throw-ins, bidder goes out first
What the score sheet looks like

Pinochle, three hands in

Enter each hand on your phone and the sheet adds itself up: running totals, who deals next, and the standings everyone can follow on the match link or a TV. Tap any earlier hand to fix it and every total after it updates.

How to keep score

How pinochle scoring works

Pick the side that won the bid and the bid amount, then enter each side's meld and the counters it took. The counters must add up to the hand total (25 in modern counting, 50 in double-deck, 250 in classic or simplified), which catches a miscount before it is scored.
