Briscola

What is Briscola?

Briscola is the most loved card game in Italy. You play with 40 Italian cards we drew ourselves, against the computer, easy or cunning. Whoever scores more than 60 of the 120 points wins.

How to play

• Everyone holds 3 cards; the trump (briscola) is the face-up card under the deck.
• Tap the card to play (or arrows and Enter). The leader plays first.
• The highest card of the same suit takes the trick; a trump beats every other suit. With different suits and no trump, the leader wins.
• The winner draws first and leads next. From strongest: ace, 3, king, knight, jack, 7, 6, 5, 4, 2.
• Points: ace 11, three 10, king 4, knight 3, jack 2, the rest 0 (120 in all). Over 60 wins; 60 to 60 is a draw.

Tips

• Don't play an ace or three the computer can take with a trump.
• Keep high trumps for your opponent's aces and threes.
