originally, the deck had to be composed by combining two poker, piquet or euchre decks and removing unneeded cards (a piquet deck does not have the 2-6, making it easier to modify, and a euchre deck is exactly half a pinochle deck), but with the game's popularity in the united states in the early 1900s, a single boxed deck with the necessary cards was marketed, and these specialized pinochle decks are now widely available in similar styles to common 52-card counterparts. variants of pinochle can be played with five, six, eight or more players. these larger variations can combine two pinochle decks called a "double deck". the double deck can also be used when playing with four players; hand sizes, average scores and minimum bids are doubled.
