Tactical and Strategic Game Play in Doppelkopf 1
TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC GAME PLAY IN DOPPELKOPF DANIEL TEMPLETON 1. Abstract The German card game of Doppelkopf is a complex game that in- volves both individual and team play and requires use of strategic and tactical reasoning, making it a challenging target for a com- puter solver. Building on previous work done with other related games, this paper is a survey of the viability of building a capable and efficient game solver for the game of Doppelkopf. 2. Introduction Throughout human history, games have served an important role, allowing real life prob- lems to be abstracted into a simplified environment where they can be explored and un- derstood. Today, games continue to serve that role and are useful in a variety of fields of research and study, including machine learning and artificial intelligence. By researching ways to enable computers to solve the abstracted, stylized problems represented by games, researchers are creating solutions that can be applied directly to real world problems. 2.1. Doppelkopf. Doppelkopf is a game in the same family as Schafkopf and Skat played mostly in northern areas of Germany. The rules are officially defined by the Deutscher Doppelkopf Verband [1], but optional rules and local variants abound. The game is played with a pinochle deck, which includes two each of the nines, tens, jacks, queens, kings, and aces of all four suits, for a total of 48 cards. As in many games, like Skat, Schafkopf, Spades, Bridge, etc., the general goal is to win points by taking tricks, with each trick going to the highest card, trump or non-trump, played.

Pinochle-Rules.Pdf
Pinochle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pinochle (sometimes pinocle, or penuchle) is a trick-taking Pinochle game typically for two, three or four players and played with a 48 card deck. Derived from the card game bezique, players score points by trick-taking and also by forming combinations of cards into melds. It is thus considered part of a "trick-and- meld" category which also includes a cousin, belote. Each hand is played in three phases: bidding, melds, and tricks. In some areas of the United States, such as Oklahoma and Texas, thumb wrestling is often referred to as "pinochle". [citation needed] The two games, however, are not related. The jack of diamonds and the queen of spades are Contents the "pinochle" meld of pinochle. 1 History Type Trick-taking 2 The deck Players 4 in partnerships or 3 3 Dealing individually, variants exist for 2- 4 The auction 6 or 8 players 5 Passing cards 6 Melding Skills required Strategy 7 Playing tricks Social skills 8 Scoring tricks Teamwork 9 Game variations 9.1 Two-handed Pinochle Card counting 9.2 Three-handed Pinochle Cards 48 (double 24 card deck) or 80 9.3 Cutthroat Pinochle (quadruple 20 card deck) 9.4 Four-handed Pinochle 9.5 Five-handed and larger Pinochle Deck Anglo-American 9.6 Check Pinochle 9.7 Double-deck Pinochle Play Clockwise 9.8 Racehorse Pinochle Card rank A 10 K Q J 9 9.9 Double-deck Pinochle for eight players (highest to 10 See also lowest) 11 References 12 External links Playing time 1 to 5 hours Random chance Medium History Related games Pinochle derives from the game bezique.

A Sampling of Card Games
A Sampling of Card Games Todd W. Neller Introduction • Classifications of Card Games • A small, diverse, simple sample of card games using the standard (“French”) 52-card deck: – Trick-Taking: Oh Hell! – Shedding: President – Collecting: Gin Rummy – Patience/Solitaire: Double Freecell Card Game Classifications • Classification of card games is difficult, but grouping by objective/mechanism clarifies similarities and differences. • Best references: – http://www.pagat.com/ by John McLeod (1800+ games) – “The Penguin Book of Card Games” by David Parlett (250+) Parlett’s Classification • Trick-Taking (or Trick-Avoiding) Games: – Plain-Trick Games: aim for maximum tricks or ≥/= bid tricks • E.g. Bridge, Whist, Solo Whist, Euchre, Hearts*, Piquet – Point-Trick Games: aim for maximum points from cards in won tricks • E.g. Pitch, Skat, Pinochle, Klabberjass, Tarot games *While hearts is more properly a point-trick game, many in its family have plain-trick scoring elements. Piquet is another fusion of scoring involving both tricks and cards. Parlett’s Classification (cont.) • Card-Taking Games – Catch-and-collect Games (e.g. GOPS), Fishing Games (e.g. Scopa) • Adding-Up Games (e.g. Cribbage) • Shedding Games – First-one-out wins (Stops (e.g. Newmarket), Eights (e.g. Crazy 8’s, Uno), Eleusis, Climbing (e.g. President), last-one-in loses (e.g. Durak) • Collecting Games – Forming sets (“melds”) for discarding/going out (e.g. Gin Rummy) or for scoring (e.g. Canasta) • Ordering Games, i.e. Competitive Patience/Solitaire – e.g. Racing Demon (a.k.a. Race/Double Canfield), Poker Squares • Vying Games – Claiming (implicitly via bets) that you have the best hand (e.g.

Pinochle Glossary Mostly Single Deck
Jan. 2016 Double Deck Pinochle Players and Cards Pinochle is a partner game. There are four players; partners sit across from each other. The deck consists of 80 cards; containing four Aces, Tens, Kings, Queens and Jacks in each of the four suits, Spades Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds. This deck can be formed by mixing together two normal Pinochle decks, having thrown out the nines, or from four regular 52 card decks from which you throw out all the numbered cards of 2 through 9. Cards are ranked from the Ace being high then 10, King, Queen and Jack. Idea of the Game After the deal there is bidding (an auction) in which players bid the total number of points they predict their team can achieve. Whoever bids highest, called the declarer, has the privilege of choosing trump and leading to the first trick. Points or score is scored in two ways: 1. By declaring and showing meld (combinations of cards held in a player’s hand). Each team must have a minimum of 20 to be “on the board” (have their meld recorded). They must also pull a minimum of 20 counter points to have their meld added to their score. 2. By winning a minimum of 20 counter points (Aces, Tens and Kings) in tricks at one point each (there is a total of 48 and two bonus points for the last trick for an overall hand total of 50.) 3. The object of the high bidder's team, “declarers,” is to win at least as many total points as the amount they bid.
