Tips And Tricks To Using The App Cutthroat Pinochle

Cutthroat is a popular Pinochle variation for three players. Unlike most partnership Pinochle games, Cutthroat pits each player against one another, every man for himself. It’s a fast-paced, highly competitive, and very strategic card game, requiring careful planning, good memory and discipline.

In this game, you can play online against real people or choose between 8 computer opponents, each with different skill levels and unique styles of playing. Each player is dealt 15 cards with 3 cards dealt face-down to the widow. Players bid after initial cards are dealt and the high bidder combines the widow cards to potentially form a stronger hand, then discarding the three weakest cards.

As of this release there are 12 options to customize game play to user preferences:

Number of Decks: Single|Double

Sound Effects: On|Off

Game Speed: Normal|Fast|Slow

Undo Button: On|Off

Must bid to win: On|Off

Minimum Trick Points: 0|1|2

Minimum Bid: 15|20|25

Bid Increment: 1|2|3

Point to Win: 75|100|150

Must Throw Higher Card: On|Off|Trumps

Must have marriage in trump: On|Off

Winner if multiple players make winning score

Cutthroat is a fast-paced three-handed every man for himself Pinochle game.

got removed from my last game for inactivity. The problem with this is that the game was waiting for players so I wasn't allowed to play. As soon as I was allowed to play the inactivity message appeared. Also, there seems to be way too many instances of both a double run and double aces in the same hand (not deal, hand.). I have seen one player get a double run and 1000 aces in one hand and get either 1000 aces or a double run in the very next hand.

I've been playing cutthroat for 50 years and I love this game. I do think that the computer players could be tweaked a bit though. I think the bidding is a little too high for single deck cutthroat, it's not very realistic. Also, I feel like the players almost always have their run in their meld, way too often to be real. And you must beat the card played if possible. And I think you should allow more time to view the kitty when it's flipped up. All in all, I enjoy your game very much, thanks.

After my previous post I realized I can enter options into the game & set it up the way I prefer. Other than that I like the game, especially that you can play against different players that have varying strategies. I'm not sure why, but several times the game has told me that I didn't make my bid when I had more meld than the bid? I've played so much that I'm starting to recognize the same hands that I've seen before. You need to make up more hands. It's not going to be a challenge anymore.
