North American 66 (Four-handed) - mickmackusa - 06-14-2016 New member, SixtySix, messaged me with the some details of a game called "66". This seems to be another cousin to pinochle as it mirrors card rank hierarchy, has an auction, references marriages as meld, uses old-school counter values, and is played with half of a single pinochle deck. I haven't personally researched this game, but I thought I would post SixtySix's description of the game for potential public interest.

There are minor quirks within these attached rules but these are quite accurate, overall. Yes, I grant permission for you to post about this game and know that like Pinochle, there are variations of the game. You may uncover groups across the country which still play this game. ...SixtySix, then copy/pasted the rules in the Four-handed and North American section from the wikipedia page; to show which variant was being discussed.

Does that mean he frowns upon playing for money or not playing for money?? hahahaha |
