Italian cards. One more round. Draw, build sets and runs, and end each round with as few points as possible. Challenge the computer or play with a friend on the same device, passing it between turns. Giocolone brings together forty cards, a little strategy, and plenty of friendly rivalry. Available in English and Italian on iPhone and iPad, with no internet connection needed. SIMPLE RULES, PLENTY OF REMATCHES Build sets of three or more cards of the same rank, or runs of three or more consecutive cards of the same suit. Cards outside your combinations count toward your score, so fewer points are better. Choose when to end the round and keep an eye on the scores. When a player reaches the score limit, the player with the lowest total wins. CHALLENGE THE COMPUTER • Play against an opponent that evaluates its hand, chooses what to draw, and decides when to end the round. • Choose 7 or 10 cards per hand and a score limit of 51 or 101. • Complete your hand with no unmatched cards for a −10-point bonus. • Collect an entire hand of the same suit to call Giocolone and win the match immediately. ONE DEVICE, TWO PLAYERS Enter your names and start playing. Between turns, the cards stay hidden until the next player confirms they are ready. Pass the device, plan your next move, and get ready for a rematch. YOUR HAND, YOUR WAY • Group combinations automatically or arrange your cards by dragging them. • Choose from three card sizes and two layouts. • See the points left outside your combinations. MAKE THE TABLE YOUR OWN • Four decks: Classic, Elements, Fantasy, and Poker. • Two card backs for each deck. • Seven table styles, including one that changes with the suit of the latest discard. LEARN AS YOU PLAY A five-screen tutorial helps you get started. Check the rules during a game, follow the scores, and review previous rounds. IN ENGLISH AND ITALIAN Choose your language in Settings or follow your device’s language. Card names also match your chosen deck, from Water in Elements to Hearts in Poker. Play offline on iPhone and iPad, against the computer or with a friend beside you. Your turn.
