Kaiser - https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=kaiser

Kaiser (also known as Three-Spot, Joffre, or Troika) is a Canadian trick-taking game.
This game uses 7 to Ace of each suit, but the 7 of hearts and the 7 of spades are replaced by the 5 of hearts and the 3 of spades.
Each player bids the number of points to take, then the highest bidder chooses the trump suit.
Each trick is worth 1 point. The 5 of heart scores 5 points, and the 3 of spades scores -3 points.


Whist - https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=whist

Whist is a classic trick-taking card game which was widely played in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Each side scores 1 point for each trick won in excess of the standard.
This implementation also supports Bid whist which adds bidding elements and two jokers as the highest trumps.


500 - https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=fivehundred

Five Hundred (500) is a partnership trick-taking card game popular in Australia.
Each player is dealt ten cards, and bids to take 6-10 tricks with the help of cards in the kitty.
The first team to reach at least 500 points wins.


Cassino - https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=cassino

Cassino (also known as Casino) is a traditional fishing game using a standard playing card deck.
Players play a card in hand to capture a set of cards, or to combine the card played with cards already on the table and create card groups which can be captured later.
Capturing certain cards or clearing all cards on the table award extra points.


Crash - https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=crash

Crash is a multi-hand variant of Brag, which uses poker-like 3-card hands.
Each player receives a number of cards, divides their cards to multiple Brag hands, and sort their hands based on the hand rank.
Then, each player reveals their hand one by one and each winner scores a point.
If a player wins all hands, they gain a bonus point.


1000 - https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=thousand

1000 (also known as 1001 or Russian Schnapsen) is a trick-taking card game using a playing card pack of only 24 cards.
Each player bids the number of points to take, then the highest bidder takes spare cards and then starts the first trick.
Points can be earned by taking tricks or declaring melds in hand. Declaring a meld changes the trump suit as well.

Very excited about Cassino, an all time family favorite. Played a couple games so far and things are working great. If I find bugs I will let you know:)

The game options are excellent. There is one I would add if possible: alternate scores for big and little casino

We always played with 10 of Diamond worth 3 points and 2 of spades worth 2 points.

I am not a programmer and understand that may be a simple request with difficult execution.

Let me know your thoughts,

Brett

I received similar requests in other public domain games as well, so I'll reiterate:
I will not add minor variants which do not significantly improve the game. I can't add all variants in the world.
