pinochle is for fun!

Example. If you're feeling ambitious you might just want to:
------------Shoot the Moon
The Winner of the bid may at his/her option declare that they intend to "Shoot the Moon". This declaration must be made after all melds have been counted and BEFORE the first card of the hand is led during play.
With such fun, who can resist?
