Features & Capabilities

Online Cutthroat Pinochle card game

Play Cutthroat Pinochle online against real people or offline against AIs.

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 10 options to customize game play to user preferences:

User Reviews

Overall, users love the game and consider it the best Cutthroat Pinochle app, especially for online play, but it suffers from major stability and accuracy issues. Frequent freezes and lockups disrupt hands, scores and melds are counted incorrectly, and AI/bot behavior often breaks rules or plays oddly. Time controls are frustrating—too little time to discard and to act, with 'play to beat' not reliably enforced. Online play reliability is poor, with disconnects, AFK players, and errors. If these core issues are fixed, the app has strong potential for dedicated pinochle players.

Pros

Fun and engaging Cutthroat Pinochle gameplay.
Considered the best app for Cutthroat Pinochle.
Online multiplayer capability to play with real players.

Cons

Frequent freezing and lockups disrupt hands.
Scoring and meld counting inaccuracies.
AI/computer players often break rules or behave strangely.
Time controls are too strict / inconsistent (short discard timer, etc.).
Online connectivity issues with disconnects, AFK players, and errors.

I would like an option to turn the timer off!

Well. I’m not sure if the reviews even matter much since it seems the only adjustments made to the game seem to have been adverse. The counter while discarding cards is too short. The counter to throw a card is too long. I have the “play to beat” option selected but it’s never been enforced. Players are wildly AFK (away from keyboard or awol) throughout games and never get kicked. The scoring is off. I believe it’s an awesome game to have the opportunity to play short of finding an Alcoholics Anonymous club somewhere to be able to play. As of now though I wish the reviews would be taken into consideration by the Devs (developers)
