Cassino app for iPhone and iPad
This excellent card game appeared out of the blue in Italy just 214 years ago and slowly became known worldwide. Compete against the app to capture cards using number combinations.
Cassino has been around so long that there are many variations. Beginning with Cassino 1.1, our app plays three variants.
Advanced Cassino is the variant played many places in the world, with traditional scoring to 21.
Royal Cassino is a royal variant, where all cards have numeric values for builds and captures. This means that the royals (jack, queen, king) get into the action. It uses traditional scoring to 21.
Original Cassino is a royal variant with simplified scoring: you win simply by capturing more cards than the app. This is easy to learn, and perfect for people on the go.
At any time you can ask the app for a suggested play. If youre new to the game, its like having a seasoned player to ask for advice.
Note: to extend a build, you need to select the build you want to extend, and all the cards that you want to add to the build. Then touch the desired blue button to make the play. The rules of Cassino require that one of the added cards must come from your hand. (You always play exactly one card from your hand at every turn.) The second-last screenshot shows what it looks like. You can read more about this at http://psellos.com/2011/12/cassino-extend-build.html.

Latest reviews of Cassino app for iPhone and iPad
Good game, but make an option wear you can not build on picture cards and have it show the final point totals as the game is played to 25, and by having two points for ten of diamonds, 1 pt. for each ace, the 2 of spades, 3 pts for cards, 1 pt for spades (7) ect. so just make those corrections and Ill give it a 5 star. But its the only Cassino game in the app store! and took me for ever to find!
Buyers beware! This is not the standard Cassino game. This is a variant known as Royal Cassino. Jacks, Queens and Kings have values of 11, 12 and 13. Aces are 1 or 14 (players choice). All play as do the other numerical cards. For example, a Kjng (13) may capture any other cards that add to 13, including face cards, plus all other Kings on the table. The developer does not make this clear in the description. I hope this comment does. As for the app itself, the design is a bit clumsy, but if you like this variant the play is acceptable.
I have been looking for this game in an app for years now. Im glad its here! Im not use to this version of the game but it will do for now. The basics are there its the scoring that is new for me. I am enjoying it so far.
Please, please, pleeeeease add an option to play the regular Cassino version as well!!! Would give it 5 stars if Royal Cassino wasnt the only means of gameplay. Thanks for making this great card game available in some form, though.
Awesome app but! Needs to have a regular version seriously
