A second alternative is that Pinochle actually developed from the Swiss and, later, South German game of Binocle or Binokel, which in turn is a descendant of Bezique. One is that it is a cousin of Binokel, with both games evolving from the game of Bezique. Pinochle is thought to have two possible origins. The standard game today is called "partnership auction pinochle". Each hand is played in three phases: bidding, melds, and tricks. It is thus considered part of a "trick-and-meld" category which also includes the game belote. It is derived from the card game bezique players score points by trick-taking and also by forming combinations of characters into melds. Pinochle ( English: / ˈ p iː n ʌ k əl/), also called pinocle or penuchle, is a trick-taking, Ace-Ten card game typically for two to four players and played with a 48-card deck.
