![]() A notification is just a tiny popup to let you know about something happening in your browser. If you have used Google Calendar, you may have seen these before. Here's another major change that you may like: ' notifications' have been added to the site. The "bots" have been updated in Double Deck Pinochle, so you should notice some improvement in their signalling skills. You will find many signalling and bidding tips explained there. ![]() ![]() But you can chat freely at a "chat table" after a game, and you can use the site's messaging feature to send short messages to players that you have liked.īy the way, there's a good discussion board, Power Pinochle, for Double Deck Pinochle enthusiasts. Chatting about strategy while you are playing a game is considered offensive, unless everyone agrees to it. Instead, ask them if they would like some tips. Please be a good sport! If you are a Pinochle expert, and your partner is playing poorly, don't abuse the chat functionality by being rude. You may want to brush up on your Ace-on-Ace leadback and meld-bidding skills. If you enjoy more competitive play, ranked games may be for you. You can also send messages to a player (this only works if you have " liked" them).Īfter this morning's site update, you can now play ranked Double Deck Pinochle games at World of Card Games. There's a "chat" table button for this purpose. If you do not know your partner well, you may want to discuss signals with them after the game. It also helps to be able to read what your opponents are signalling. In Pinochle, what matters is that the two teammates agree about the signals being made. Some players will have their own established meld bidding signals, and those may not agree with mine. So I've added a new page on meld bidding. This question made me think my original page on Double Deck Pinochle strategy was insufficient. This seems long enough even for beginners.įinally, someone wrote to me with a question about meld bidding. Also, you are now given less time - 15 seconds - to choose the up card or a suit. In Euchre, the bots have had a couple of minor strategy improvements. In addition, players at ranked tables are now allowed 3 minutes to get back to their table before getting penalized (previously it was 2 minutes). Thanks to those who sent me feedback over the last several weeks! The bots have had a few other strategy improvements as well. There's also a youtube video about the Jack leadback. Click that link to learn more about how it works. In Double Deck Pinochle, the bots now use the " Jack leadback". There were a few other updates made, as well. If you notice any more problems in this game, please report them so that I can make the site better.Īfter this morning's update to the site, you can now play ranked Twenty-Nine! This update also includes some bug fixes for problems that were reported to me in Twenty-Nine. I'm first to bid, so I'll bid 51, because I have aces around. The bots have been programmed to do this, now. If no one has bid yet, a bid of 51 (rather than the minimum bid of 50) is usually taken to signal that the person has "aces around". If a player has "aces around", it means they have at least one ace in all suits, and indicates a pretty strong hand. Someone mentioned to me that the Pinochle bots have not been giving an "aces around" bid. It may help me figure out what is going wrong here So if you notice a problem, please download the hand history and send it to me. I've had a couple of bug reports in this game, but have not been able to reproduce the issues. The hand history is now available for Gin Rummy ( there's a blog post that describes how the hand history works for Hearts). Thanks to the player who suggested this to me! This should help to mitigate the risk of teaming up with a lower-rated partner in ranked team games. The details are explained on the page which describes Spades rankings. However, if a player with a higher Elo is teamed up with one who has a much lower rating, then the higher rated player will get a little more credit than they did previously. You won't see much of a change when players with similar ranks are playing against each other. This morning, the site was updated with a few bug fixes and modifications.įirst, the Elo rating has been slightly modified in team games (Spades, Twenty-Nine, Euchre, and Double Deck Pinochle).
