It’s statistically impossible that the deal is random with the meld points being delt. Moreover, the AI bidding is terrible. ### 1/5 — Not Impressed *2026-03-02* I would expect a random deal. It’s statistically impossible that the deal is random with the meld points being delt. ### 5/5 — Best Pinochle game on iOS. *2024-06-18, version 6.4.0* Better than the 4 player games for sure. I have played them all extensively and enjoy them all. But cutthroat is the BEST. the only thing that I would request other than a better computer logic is an option to play with other people. Thanks for the fun! ### 5/5 — Best Pinocle Game *2023-02-08, version 6.3.0* It has multiple options of play. Love playing partners. Great game and version of the game. ### 5/5 — Points to save meld *2021-03-14, version 5.8.1* There is no option to change points for a save other than 1 or 0. With 80 cards you should have to make 20 to save. PLEASE CHANGE IN SETTINGS! ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-03-21, version 5.1.0* Enjoy addictive ### 4/5 — Many good points but... *2019-07-26, version 4.7.0* This app is very well designed with good graphics and good bidding by the computer players. Where it falls short is you cannot set minimum point card totals in order to save your meld or to make your bid. The result is the game often comes down to how much meld a player has. The play of the cards frequently has little effect on the game. Overall though, with the exception of the above, the game designers did an excellent job. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2019-02-22* Good three handed pinochle game. Lots of fun. ### 5/5 — Great Improvement *2017-01-31, version 3.0.0* I have been waiting for double-deck version for quite awhile and this is really good. Only one major need is the option to require tricks be required to save meld. Current option is 0 or 1. We have always played, winning bidder must take 20 and other two players must take 15. 5-card widow can prompt a lot of very risky bidding. A 2-card widow restrains that a bit. I have played both ways, so an option would be nice. Thanks to developer for great improvements. Without a doubt, this is the best Pinochle version on the market. ### 5/5 — Cutthroat the best *2016-05-21, version 2.0.3* Challenging you have out done all others! ## Frequently asked questions about Cutthroat Pinochle+ ### What is Cutthroat Pinochle+?
