Choose from two exciting fast-paced games in this two-game app from Appracatappra! Build and win poker hands as quickly as possible against your opponents from the swirling decks in Cascading Cards, or test your word skills at lightning speeds before the letter tiles are swallowed up in the whirlpools of Cascading Words.
Play up to 4 players or against the AI’s in either game for winning scores and achievements. Control the length of the games and the intelligence levels of the AI’s as you learn to master CASCADES!
App Includes two games in one:
Game 1: CASCADING CARDS: A fast-paced card game where all players play at once, scrambling for cascading cards before they disappear from view in order to build five-card poker hands and score as high and as often as possible! Earn points for each hand you decide to score, based on standard poker hand rankings that include wild cards!
1.Player Selection: Play up to 4 players (or against the AI’s) all at the same time! Control the intelligence level of the AI’s in the Options Menu. Play from the respective corners, moving cards to the tables as quickly as possible in order to form winning hands!
2.Game Play: Grab cascading cards before they disappear in the center and move them to your table as quickly as possible in order to form winning hands! Choose to play at your own speed from a single deck or against the timer (from 1 to 5 minutes) from an unlimited number of cards and decks. Included: two wild cards per deck.
Use the Score Hand button to record each five-card hand you want to score.
Use the Flush Hand button to return your cards to the dealer board and continue.
Set Auto Flush (after scoring) or Manual Flush from the Options Menu.
3.Scoring: Draw and score your hands as quickly as possible. Only the five-card hand on the top row can be scored, but you may use the lower 3 spots to hold cards as you contemplate your play. Poker hand rankings and point distributions are listed in the in-app help menus. Score your hand, then rearrange the cards and score again if possible, or flush your existing cards and grab for more!
Game 2: CASCADING WORDS: A fast-paced word game where all players play at once, scrambling for cascading letter tiles before they disappear from view in order to build words and scores as high and as often as possible!
As in other select word games from Appracatappra, use this unique blend of crossing words with the suits in a deck of cards to achieve bonus points that can double, triple, or even five-times your word score!¬¬
