Rules of Tablanette tranlsated by a french text from the web (using
Babelfish...).

One plays against the computer, with pack of 52 cards. The principle
is to gain the charts of the table, by posing charts of equal value.
Each one receives six charts, faces hidden. One places then 4 charts
on the table. Each player, alternatively, poses a chart on the table.
He can collect with this chart: - value is a of the same chart; - is a
group of charts, whose sum of the values equalizes his For these
catches, the King is worth 14, Lady 13, Ace 11, or 1 with the liking
of the player and each chart, of the Ten to Both his face value. For
example, a Lady makes it possible to take another Lady, or Last nines
and one Four, or one Seven and one Six. Charts taken, as well as the
chart having been used to take are posed, faces hidden in front of the
player. If the chart posed does not allow anything to take, it is
added simply to the charts of the table. A Servant does not have an
eigenvalue. To pose a servant makes it possible to take all the charts
of the table. When the players do not have any more charts, they
receive each one of it 6 news, until exhaustion of the heel. Gaining
is that which took the most charts, when the heel is exhausted.

My comment: in my opinion, it is related very much to the
Serbian/Croatian Tablic, the element of luck is more apparent however,
since the Jacks get all layout cards and there's no scoring for sweeps
or special cards.
Probably it's a kids game, like Kontsina.

(But to understand the game you must know... French.)
I have translated the short intro for you:
TABLANETTE
You play against the computer with a 52-card pack. The principle is to
win [i.e. to take] the cards on the table, by laying down a card of
equal value.
Each one receives six cards, faces down. Then 4 cards are laid down on
the table. Each player, in turn, puts a card on the table. With this
card he can collect: either a card of the same value; or a group of
cards whose added values are equal to that of the player's.
Cards caught as well as the card used to take them are laid down; they
are won by the player. The winner is the one who has taken the most
cards once the stock is exhausted.

"Tablanette" is a fishing game and is (or was) particularly popular in
the Balkans. It is written 'tablanet', 'tablinet', 'tablionet', or
'tabinet', in Roumanian. The Bulgarians call it 'tablonet', and it is
'tablic' (pronounced /tablich/ - with an acute accent on the final c)
in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. It is similar to
konchina/concina/kollitsina and pastra.
