Tablanette

Casino and Scoring Card Games

Tablanette, also spelled Tablanet, Tabinet or Tablic, is a popular fishing-style card game usually played by two players or two teams of two, and it is popular across a wide area of the Balkans. It is similar to the English game of Cassino. The aim is to capture cards from a layout on the table by playing a card from hand that matches the number of a table card or the sum of several table cards. The earliest known English rules were published in 1939 by Hubert Phillips and B. C. Westall, who say it is supposed to have originated in Russia, while another source suggests North Macedonia, Serbia or Bosnia and Herzegovina. The name means clean table in French.
