CrossCards Demo Published by Freeverse Software Age Group: Age 8 and Up Type: Board/Card Games License: free demo

CrossCards is like a combination of Scrabble and Poker. Instead of building Scrabble words, place Poker hands on the board: 2, 3, 4 or 5 cards with the same value; two pairs; full house; flush (5 cards in one suite); straight (5 cards in increasing or decreasing order).

Select up to 4 human or computer players - computer skill level can range from 0 (novice) up to 9 (expert). Start a new game. Each player has a rack containing up to 8 cards. Every card has a value (Ace is highest). Jokers have a value of 0 but can represent any other card.

Get high scores by placing cards on special multiplier squares, and by making a bonus hand with 5 cards. There are options to pick different game scenarios or create a new one, and to change board configurations. Beginner help includes automatic card sorting and recommended moves.

Another fun game from Freeverse, with a variety of scenarios for play!
