This is just as I remmember playing it with my grandma 30 years ago. I still have that deck of “Triestine” cards that she bought for me.

I specially bought a few Italian decks for Italian games. It adds to the flavor/atmosphere, I think.

I have four Spanish decks at home, two of them are 40 card decks that go 1-7 and the three court cards, and two 48 card decks that include an 8 and 9. I do think once you play with a Spanish or Italian deck with court cards it's much more enjoyable but playing with a more familiar French suited deck with A-10 does make it easier to learn and also the better way to play the game with children, especially if they are learning addition in school this game is a good aid for that. Although if anyone has a Spanish deck with 8 and 9, then you could play it from 1-9 and the Knave (Sota) which has the 10 on it, feels the same and still easy to learn.

This video is so clearly explained, thank you!

This is like a simplified version of Cassino.

This is very similar to the Egyptian game "basra" but the Egyptian version has couple more roles make it much more fun ❤

When your hand is empty, how is it "refilled" from the deck? Does the player whose turn it is take the top 3 cards to refill their hand, or does it alternate cards from the deck between the 2 players (if they both have empty hands at the same time)?

Question - when players have exhausted the cards in their hands, and they are dealt 3 new cards each, if there are no cards on the floor are 4 more cards laid down by the dealer or does the first player to go throw a card down to the empty floor?

What happens when one person runs out of cards in there hand before the other. Do they wait to pick up 3 till other person out too?

I play this game but i need sum 15 , not combine value the cards.

Scopa vs. Briscola? - like one vs. the other? =)

You captured two fours instead of the card 8. This is not alowed.

Is this more of a 'luck' based game? With so few decisions, it is hard to see where the skill can save you.

First.
