The term may also be related to the French word binage for the combination of cards called "binocle". There are also suggestions that the word pinochle comes from bis (until) and Knöchel (knuckle) because originally the game ended when a player rapped their knuckles on the table. It may come from the French word binocle literally meaning "two eyes", or "eyeglasses" or "binoculars", and was a reference to the mythical notion that the German game of Binocle was invented with a special deck where the Queen of Spades and Jack of Diamonds were pictured in side profile with just one eye each. The word pinochle has several different potential derivations. 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. All is fine now, but I won’t be filling in for those days.Pinochle is thought to have two possible origins. Then on Quarantine Day 18, I came down with a little intestinal bug, so slept most of the day. Note: On Quarantine Day 17, I spent all day on getting help fixing computer issues. Still, I am really looking forward to seeing people in person again! I don’t imagine ever wanting to play with random strangers, but never say never. There really needs to be at least voices to enjoy the game with friends. If the video is on the same device as the game, you can’t really see. We have used either Zoom or Facebook for that. We have always had a video chat going at the same time as the card game. Only about half of the settings menu shows in the photo below. The metal butterfly is one of my yard decorations that I had a photo. That is where you can find the settings for changing cards, table covers, score fonts, and how long certain things are displayed. In the photo above, you can see a gear wheel in the bottom left corner. During our last game, I uploaded a photo so my online cards are personalized.
I have fun with the setting options for what the cards can look like.
Some of our game participants have played on their phones, which could be handy for travel, but a couple of times someone hit a bid higher than they meant to because the buttons are smaller on the phone. But you don’t have to sign in with an email unless you want to be able to play as the same person across different devices. It also remembers any rules you set up from before. The first time you play a game you pick a name. You can set these AFTER you click “Play now on this site” and choose your card game. There are a few pre-set variations of the game, but there is also a menu that allows for fine tuning the rules to your preferences. I would assume a lot of the features carry over, though. We briefly looked at the other options, but stuck with pinochle.
#Play pinochle now free#
The website is free (there was one short ad before starting a game) and has 9 card game options. and we have used it quite a few times during quarantine. This has come in handy as a way to spend time with family remotely this last couple of weeks. I was not interested, but he talked me into learning about 5 years ago. He taught the kids from a young age, but I am not a game player.
