Master the classic game of chance and strategy with Maverick Pinochle Playing Cards, specially designed for the beloved family tradition that rewards players who take risks and aren't afraid of calculated gambles. These specialized cards feature extra pips across the top that make it easier to spot your matched sets and melds, giving you a competitive edge in this exciting trick-taking game that's similar to Bridge or Chess in its strategic depth.

Available in both red and blue back designs, these poker-sized cards maintain the traditional elegance of the Maverick brand while providing the specialized functionality Pinochle players demand.
