Scopa

Catturare il maggior numero di carte, specialmente i sette, le monete e fare scope (ripulire il tavolo).

Si usa un mazzo napoletano (o un mazzo da 40 carte). Distribuisci 3 carte a ciascun giocatore e metti 4 carte scoperte sul tavolo.

1. Players: 2 to 4 players (or 2 teams of 2).
2. Deck: Italian 40-card deck (or a standard deck with 8s, 9s, and 10s removed). Cards rank 1-7 plus Jack (8), Queen (9), King (10).
3. Deal: Each player receives 3 cards. Place 4 cards face-up on the table. The rest form the stock.
4. Rounds: When all hands are empty, deal 3 more cards each from the stock. Do not add more table cards.

A turno, ogni giocatore gioca una carta dal tavolo per catturare una o più carte che sommano al valore della carta giocata. Se non è possibile catturare, la carta viene lasciata sul tavolo. Fare scopa (catturare tutte le carte sul tavolo) è un risultato speciale.

1. Playing a Card: On your turn, play one card from your hand to the table.
2. Capturing: If your card matches the value of a table card, you capture both. If your card matches the combined value of multiple table cards, you capture all of them.
3. No Capture: If no capture is possible, your card stays on the table.
4. Scopa (Sweep): If your play captures all remaining table cards, it is a 'scopa' — worth one bonus point. Mark it by placing a captured card face-up in your pile.
5. Priority Rule: If your card can match a single card, you must capture that single card rather than a combination.

1 punto per più carte; 1 per più monete; 1 per il settebello (7 di denari); 1 per la primiera (calcolo speciale); 1 punto per ogni scopa.

1. Cards: The player who captured the most cards scores 1 point.
2. Diamonds (Denari/Coins): The player with the most diamond-suit cards scores 1 point.
3. Sette Bello: The player who captured the 7 of diamonds scores 1 point.
4. Primiera: A complex scoring based on having the highest-value cards across all four suits scores 1 point.
5. Scope: Each sweep scored during play is worth 1 point.

Cerca di fare scope, ma non lasciare carte facili da catturare agli avversari. Il settebello vale sempre 1 punto.

• Always try to capture the 7 of diamonds when possible — it counts toward three scoring categories.
• Avoid leaving table combinations that total a value your opponent can easily sweep.
• Track which high-value cards have been played to optimize your Primiera score.
