82/100

Pinochle HD is a rare gem for fans of traditional trick-taking card games. Pinochle is notoriously difficult to teach and even harder to find a good digital version of, but this HD release nails the fundamentals. The UI is exceptionally clear, which is vital given the complex 'meld' and 'trick' phases of the game. The cards are large and beautifully rendered, making it easy to play even on the smaller iPad Mini.

The AI is surprisingly competent; it doesn't just play randomly but seems to follow sound bidding strategies and keeps track of which trump cards have been played. For those looking to sharpen their skills for real-world games, this is an excellent training ground. It could benefit from a local multiplayer mode over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, but as a single-player experience, it stands at the top of its class on the App Store.
