Double Deck Pinochle card game classic • Solo and Multiplayer • Smart bots • Thousands of people to play with • Play online with friends • Interactive tutorial • Free and no signup required! Play Double Deck Pincochle to your heart's content with the official Double Deck Pincochle card game app from World of Card Games. Pair up with people by joining one of our tables, play by yourself against our bots, or create a private table and invite your friends and family to play. Our game is free to play and no signup is required. Double Deck Pinochle is a 4-player game where the players are split into 2 teams of 2 players. The goal of the game is to reach 500 points first. Points are earned through melding and trick-taking. Kings, Aces and 10s are each worth 1 point in a trick, and the last trick has a bonus of 2 points. Each team must score no less than 20 points in both melds and tricks to avoid penalties. At the start of the game, each player is dealt 20 cards, and the trump suit is determined by having each player bid. The highest bidder chooses the trump suit and must have a marriage (King and Queen) in that particular suit. Tricks are played in clockwise order, with players needing to play higher-ranking cards if possible.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Gorillas at none against Double Deck Pinochle ‣'s shown. Gorillas also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 29%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Double Deck Pinochle ‣'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Double Deck Pinochle ‣ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Double Deck Pinochle ‣ has 422 ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Gorillas's written reviews are positive against 29% of Double Deck Pinochle ‣'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Gorillas ships an update every 2 months, Double Deck Pinochle ‣ every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
