I LOVE card games. But, I don't remember ever playing pinochle.

There are too many names for things.<br />I remember growing up and all the grown ups playing either bridge or pinocle. <br />I used to play rummy 500. That was a fun game.<br />Now we play hand and foot. It is sort of like canasta only totally different.2catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422139409011064601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-69110640311870898582009-12-01T16:34:04.145-06:002009-12-01T16:34:04.145-06:00I have never played pinochle but it sounds like a ...I have never played pinochle but it sounds like a blast!

I never could figure out either one! All I remember about Pinochle is that you have to remember what has been played. My mind just doesn't work that way. So, although I love playing cards and games and such Pinochle just appears to be beyond me. On the other hand if you ever want to take up Canasta, I'm your gal!!Mellodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515414035373189099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-37730183528647044452009-12-01T08:41:15.627-06:002009-12-01T08:41:15.627-06:00D and I plan on playing a TON with Mom and Dad whe...D and I plan on playing a TON with Mom and Dad when we go home for the holidays! I miss Pinochle when I'm not with family. D and I need to teach it to our one pair of friends who are as into games as we are here in Boston.<br /><br />Rachel, those rules are almost identical to the ones we use in our family. We count a triple Pinochle as 90 (have never seen a quadruple Pinochle!) but everything else looks the same.beckiwithanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380322646544580050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-20975279581990588232009-12-01T07:41:59.361-06:002009-12-01T07:41:59.361-06:00I'm a Euchre girl.

The bidding always confused me. How can bid when you don't know how many points you're going to make? I realize this isn't that different from Euchre, but somehow Euchre makes more sense to me. <br /><br />Having said all that, if you happen to find yourself in Northern Ontario one day, drop in and play a few games with my parents ... they'd love to have you!Crazy Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854860776987204779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-72242727825488357082009-12-01T05:17:40.950-06:002009-12-01T05:17:40.950-06:00I play a lot of cards, and am always looking for n...I play a lot of cards, and am always looking for new games to learn (though I'm too far away to play with you, obviously!).
