My favorite card game! Not a lot of annoying ads! Update! Don't have same issues as others. I play on the computer option, and it would be fun if you added more players. Now Abraham consistently bids to a point, but he will have melded at 153 and passes at 90! Also game really needs to upgrade Bridget from 1 star! She's a good player all around! Still enjoying the game for nearly 60+ years!🤣🤣🤣

Great cutthroat pinochle rules and options one critique, however... if a trick has been trumped, there is no requirement for the next player to beat the original suit played... that is an error in this game.

Problems with the game is you don't always have to beat the card played before you. Also, if someone takes the bid, and they refuse to play the game will cancel out. Another thing there is no minimum 15 counters in order to save. For example if you bid 65 and have 79 meld you only have to save one counter to save.

The bidding should begin at 50 with it growing by 1 until you reach 60, then by 5 until you reach 100, then by 10 until you reach 200, then by 20 until the bid is won. Whoever wins the bid gets to keep the cards they discard as part of their points after the hand is played. Also, once a card is trumped, the next player doesn't need to beat the card trumped unless they also are playing trump. I was surprised that I had to beat a card in my backup suit after it was trumped.

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.

An extreme let down. I was super pumped to play cutthroat until I found out playing online that 1. You don't have to make 15 or 20 to save your meld if you don't take the bid. 2. you don't go back your meld if I have the bid and don't save another player melds against you 3. And with all this you don't even have to take the bid to win. People with AA don't even bid because they know they'll get they're melded. Extreme let down could be so awesome if they just change the rules to prison rules.
