Cutthroat Pinochle Online

Cutthroat is a popular Pinochle variation for three players. Unlike most partnership Pinochle games, Cutthroat pits each player against one another, every man for himself. It’s a fast-paced, highly competitive, and very strategic card game, requiring careful planning, good memory and discipline.

A couple of times the meld wasn’t counted right on this game they make you go over the card that was played when the person in front of me trumped in I’ve always played the game where you have to always go over a card played in front of you if possible is that a setting to adjust I had double kings and double queens in the same hand , with a rope ,pinochle the count was 173 seems a lot low

Computer Player quirks
Revolttub

I like the game but it has quirks which violate its own rules. Computer player’s deal. All pass, so CP gets the bid. has zero meld. Takes bid and names best suit trump. Game continues. Same thing, bid dumped on Computer player calls trump with no marriage. CP has 10 meld, Aces, makes his bid with no marriage. I can’t do this. As settings require marriage. In summary I cannot name trump without a marriage but computer players can? Computer player reneges. Trumps a suit then plays one? When playing I have required to beat on. CP1 plays low card. CP2 trumps. I am required /forced to to play higher card than CP1 in original suit? I burn my ace for no reason because I have to. What for? I am Required to Beat, but I cannot beat. I should be able to play low card of original suit played.

Two Quirks

I love this game, but have found two problems. First, the percentages are not always correct. As an example, I have won 350 games and lost 224. But, ever since I got over 60% it seems to be stuck there. The second problem is that does not always require my opponents to play a higher card in the suit played. I am required to, but they are not always required to play that way. Fix these quirks and I would rate this with five stars.
