Oh Hell! v.3.0.2 This is a suite of six exact bidding trick taking games, the Oh Hell!, the Ascenseur, the Romanian Whist, the Greek Whist, the 10 op en neer and the Oh Shit!. Oh Hell! is a trick taking game with trumps that is played in 19 hands. Each successive hand is played with one card fewer, down to a hand of just one card each, then one card more per hand back up to the starting level. The object is for each player to bid the number of tricks he thinks he can take from each hand, then to take exactly that many; no more and no fewer. Points are awarded only for making the bid exactly, and are deducted for missing the bid, either over or under.The hook is that at least one player will fail on each hand, because the total number of tricks bid by the players may not equal the number of tricks available on that hand.You play it with authentic scanned decks, against strong opponents. Version 3.0.2 addresses compatibility problems with Win XP SP2 users. 
Panguingue v.1.0.0 (This is not Panguingue (Pan) -- Another Variation) 
Panguingue, also known as Pan for short, is a Rummy game which is popular in the southwest USA. From four to eight players can take part in one game. It is played with eight decks of standard cards from which the 8's, 9's and 10's have been removed - 320 cards altogether. The game of Panguingue and its name may well have originated in the Philippines. 
Rummy v.1.0.0
Rummy games first appeared in the early twentieth century, and are probably derived from the Mexican game Conquian. The object of the game is to dispose of all the cards in your hand. There are three ways to get rid of cards: melding, laying off, and discarding. Melding is taking a combination of cards from your hand, and placing it face up in front of you on the table, where it stays. There are two kinds of combination which can be melded: sequences (also known as runs) and groups (also known as sets or books). Laying off is adding a card or cards from your hand to a meld already on the table.Discarding is playing a card from your hand on top of the discard pile. You get rid of one card this way at the end of each turn. Various options are here available to select, including the number of opponents, decks and scoring. 
Schnauz v.1.0.0
Schnauz is a card game in which you improve your hand by exchanging cards with a central pool of face-up cards. Other names for the game are 31, Schwimmen, Knack and Hosen 'runter (trousers down). Although it is known in many parts of the world, it seems to be particularly popular in Germany and the western part of Austria. At your turn you are allowed to exchange one card of your hand with one of the face up cards on the table. If you do not want to exchange a card you are allowed to pass instead. The turn then passes to the next player. You may play it with French suited or German suited card decks. 
Scopa d'Assi v.2.2.0
Scopa d'Assi is a version of Scopa where in addition to the normal rules of capture, playing an ace takes all the table cards. Scopa is the game from which Scopone was developed. 3 cards are dealt to each player and 4 to the table. After everyone has played their 3 cards, another 3 are dealt and played, and then another 3. As long as there are still more cards to be dealt, any cards left on the table when the players run out of cards stay there, and can be captured in the normal way after the next part of the deal. Here, you may play the Scopa d'Assi (the 3-card and the 10-card variant) and the standard Scopa game. You have the option to play it using various Italian, latin-suited or french-suited, card decks. 
Sheepshead v.1.0.0
Sheepshead is the American form of the German game Schafkopf. The deck contains 32 cards; the 2-6 of all four suits are removed. Fourteen cards are designated as a fixed trump suit. The trump suit contains the four queens, the four jacks, and the remaining diamonds. The remaining six hearts, clubs and spades are known as the "fail" suits. Hoyle only describes the three-handed game, which may mean that it is the original. The object of the game is to capture tricks containing 61 points or more, i.e. the majority of the points in the deck, during the play of each hand. After dealing a new hand, players establish roles that are essentially offensive and defensive. One player challenges the others, declaring intent to take tricks worth 61 points or more. If that player is successful the losers sacrifice points to the challenger. If the challenger loses, however, the "defensive" players gain twice as many points, in recognition of their upset victory.
