Gnono is a GNOME-based software that is a modified version of the popular card game, WUNO.
Gnono is an exciting and engaging card game that has been specifically designed for the GNOME environment. It is actually a rewrite of the classic Windows game WUNO, and its main objective is to discard all of your cards before your opponent does. This can be achieved by matching the value or color of the top discard or by playing a wild card.
The game begins with each player picking a card, and the player with the highest value card gets to play first. After that, each player is dealt either seven or eleven cards, depending on the chosen preferences. The remaining cards are placed face down on the pick-up pile, and the top card of the pick-up pile is turned over onto the discard pile. Play starts in a clockwise direction.
To win, the player whose turn it is must play a card that matches the card on the discard pile either by number or color. If they don't have a matching card, they must take one from the pick-up pile. If they can't play the card they picked up either, they keep it, and play moves on to the next player.
If a player manages to play out all their cards, the current round is over, and the winning player gets the sum of the points in the opponent's hands added to their current score. If the player reaches the playout score, they win the game; otherwise, the game continues with the next round. Additionally, if all the cards have been taken from the pick-up pile during play, the deck is shuffled, and the game continues.
Some of the new features in this release include the migration of all deprecated GTK+ APIs, the implementation of GnomeGoals/PoLinguas, the reverse card now acts as a Skip in a two-player game, the addition of a single "Points to Win" field showing the playout score instead of individual fields, and the availability of a man page.
Overall, Gnono is a fun and challenging card game that is perfect for anyone who loves to play card games on their computer. It is easy to learn, but it can also be challenging to master, making it the ideal game for people of all skill levels.
