Pinochle Ranks and Badges

Note: This game is no longer available at Pogo.com. It was retired on June 4, 2019.

Pinochle is a classic card game that was invented in the United States in the 1860’s. The object of the game is for your team to reach 150 points.

Pinochle is a game for 4 players. The player at the top of the screen is on your team. The two players on the left and right side of the screen are on the other team. All points are shared equally between both members of the same team.

Pinochle Tips & Hints

Rank progress in Pinochle is made by the number of pinochles (Q of Spades and J of Diamonds) you can meld in your own hand. Pinochles in partner’s hand do NOT count (unlike the Red 3’s in Canasta.)

If you are interested in ranks, set the game end score to the lowest possible number. That way you’ll play more games. When you start a game, stand up if you don’t have at least one pinochle in your hand. That way, you’re assured of one pinochle per game.

Ranking out in Pinochle is more difficult than almost any other Pogo game. The number of pinochles gets high starting at rank 20 (of 50) and the time it takes to play a hand is fairly long. If you ever hope to rank out, it’s probably best to play against real people and enjoy the game. That way, you can also work on the ratings badges.

On our Answers site, Cora writes that there’s a way to stand to get new cards. Also, for more hints from our community, check out the Pinochle tips post.
