How Do You Play Casino?

There are two to four players in this game with one deck of cards (jokers are taken out). Four cards are dealt to each player and four cards are placed in the middle of a table and they are face up and spread out to form a line. The player to the left of the dealer goes first. The player has to turn his or her card face up and place it on the table so that all players can see it. Then the player will use that card to try and build on or take as many cards as possible from the middle. This is called a build or capture. This sounds complicated to me. Perhaps if I play the game in Demo Mode, I will get a better understanding of it. Well, here we go!
