Cassino

A South African variant of the fishing card game Cassino.

Cassino is a fishing card game where you play against the computer or a friend using a deck of 40 cards. No face cards are used. There are two rounds in a game and at the beginning of each round each player receives 10 cards. The tactics of this game centre around the builds - especially builds of high value. Builds are formed by combining cards on the table and in the players hand. These builds can be captured to the capture pile.

The aim of the game is to score as many points as possible. The cards in each players capture pile are used to calculate each players' score. You can play against the computer or you can challenge your friends in the multiplayer mode.

Scoring is as follows:

2 points - 10 of diamonds

1 points - 2 of spades

1 points - Each Ace

2 points - Most cards captured

2 points - Most spades
