Card game using ideas from a regular card game called Casino. The cards all feature Sooty but they also have amounts of money on each one, ranging from 1 penny to 1 shilling (that is 12 pennies). Four cards are laid face-up in the middle of the table and each player is dealt 4 cards. In your turn you can take a card from the display by using a card with the same value from your hand. Alternatively, you could add a card from your hand, and add it to the amount on the card on the table, with a view to taking it next turn with a card equal to the total on the two cards which you were 'building'. However, before your next turn comes round, another player might be able to take your 'build'. There are special cards that score more than normal. The game ends when the pack runs out. Cards you captured are added up, their face value in money. Then any Lucky Pennies score as 1 shilling. Any Lucky Sixpence scores 2 shillings. Any Money Boxes score 4 shillings and twopence. The player with the most in his 'savings' wins the game.
