Preferred term

pinochle  

Definition

  • Pinochle is derived from Bezique and is very similar to it, especially in the two-player versions of each game, with the major difference being in how the game is scored. The name is taken to be a French-German-Swiss corruption of the name Bezique to Binokle to Pinochle, or sometimes Peanukle. [Source: Encyclopedia of Play in Today's Society; Pinochle]
