Double Pedro

description Double Pedro Overview

Double Pedro is an American trick-taking card game that belongs to the Pitch family, which itself is derived from the older game of All-Fours. The defining mechanic of this variant is the inclusion of the Pedro, which consists of the five of the trump suit and the off-five of the same color, both of which hold significant scoring value. This alters the maximum possible points available in a single hand to fourteen. Players must strategically bid and play their cards to capture these specific high-value fives along with standard points.
