How to play

Scopa is Italy's classic: play a card to take cards from the table, sweep it clean and collect coins and sevens.

  1. 1

    The cards

    40 cards: ace to 7, jack, queen and king.

    The ace is worth 1, the number cards their value, jack 8, queen 9, king 10. Diamonds are the coins.

  2. 2

    The deal

    Three cards each, four face up on the table.

    When everyone has played their three cards, three new ones are dealt. (Three kings on the table at the start: the cards are dealt again.)

  3. 3

    Take a match

    A card takes a table card of the same value.

    If there is a card of the same value, you have to take it rather than a sum.

  4. 4

    Take a sum

    Or several table cards that add up to its value.

    A 7 takes a 3 and a 4. If there are several ways, you choose.

  5. 5

    Taking is a must

    If your card can take something, it has to.

    Only a card that can't take anything stays on the table.

  6. 6

    Scopa

    Sweep the table clean: 1 point.

    Every sweep is a scopa. (Not with the very last card of the hand.)

  7. 7

    End of the hand

    The rest of the table goes to whoever took last.

    Then the points are counted.

  8. 8

    The points

    Most cards, most coins and the 7 of coins: 1 point each.

    On a tie nobody gets that point. Every scopa is a point too. First to 11 while in the lead wins.

  9. 9

    Primiera

    The best card of every suit added up: 1 point.

    7 = 21, 6 = 18, ace = 16, 5 = 15, 4 = 14, 3 = 13, 2 = 12, face cards = 10. You need all four suits.
