Scopa

A traditional Italian card game combining strategy with an element of luck. A competitive trick taking game for 2 to 4 players, cards are played to the table centre to "capture" other cards totalling the same value, or simply placed if nothing can be catpured. Take your turns strategically to maximise your captured tricks, and race to 11 points before your opponents to claim the victory. The rulebook also comes with a history of the game in Italy.
