Banko
Description
Banko is a single-player text-based card game.
Similar to blackjack, the player competes against the computer drawing cards, with the goal to get as close to 11 as possible without going over. The player closest to 11 wins the hand, and bonus points are awarded if this is done by using 5 or more cards. The player starts with 30 points, and receives points for wins and loses points for losses. If the player reaches 60 points, they are victorious.
