How to play

Casino the wrong way round (in Swedish Krypkasino): every point is a penalty. Take as little as you can, and beware of emptying the table. Two decks, and the fewest points wins.

• Two decks are shuffled together. Everyone gets four cards. With 2, 3, 4 or 6 players, eight cards go face up on the table; with 5 players, four. When the hands are empty, four new ones are dealt, until the deck is out.
• On your turn you play one card. You take table cards of the same value, or several cards that together make the card’s value. The ace is worth 14 in the hand and 1 on the table.
• If you can take you must (house rule). Otherwise you put the card down on the table. There is no building here.
• Everything you take gives penalty points: ten of diamonds 3, two of spades 2, ace of spades 2, other aces and spades 1 each.
• Emptying the table is a sweep, and it costs 5 points. Whoever took last gets what is left when the deal ends.
• Optional rule: the player who acted immediately before a sweep gets minus 5 points for setting it up. The deduction applies only when the sweep happens, not for the initial table cards. This rule is off by default.
• When someone has reached the limit after a deal, the game ends. The fewest points wins.

Good to know

Taking
Tap a card in your hand. Table cards it can take light up. Tap Take, or choose which cards to take yourself. Take as few penalty cards as you can.

A trick
Put down your dangerous cards (the ten of diamonds, spades) when you may, so someone else may have to take them.

Vs computer
Choose 1–5 opponents and how hard they are. A win gives experience points and shows on the top list.

With friends
Set up a table and share the code, or invite a friend from Spelbordet’s start page. If someone leaves, a computer player takes over.
