The game is played with a 40-card Italian deck (similar to a conventional deck minus either the 8s, 9s, and 10s or alternatively, the Js, Qs, and Ks). Four-player games are usually played in partnership; other numbers of players typically play for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the original \u003cstrong\u003eScopa\u003c\/strong\u003e base game, four cards are turned face up on the table, and players are dealt hands of three cards. On his or her turn, a player may capture any of the face-up cards on the table if the sum of the cards captured equals the value of the card played. If a player cannot make a capture, he or she must discard a card face-up onto the table. Cards are progressively handed out in lots of three until the deck is exhausted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the deck is exhausted, scoring is calculated. Players earn 1 point for \"sweeping\" the table, that is, for clearing the table of all face-up cards; 1 point for capturing the most cards; 1 point for capturing the most cards of the coin suit; 1 point for capturing the 7 of coins (the \"settebello\"); and 1 point for the best \"primiera,\" that is, the best assemblage of high-value cards from each of the four suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe game is traditionally played until a player or team reaches a set number of points, usually 11 or 21.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \"Scopa\" means \"sweep\" or \"broom\" in Italian, and refers to the action of picking up all face-up cards on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn some ways, Scopa can be thought of as a precursor to many popular modern game designs. The multiple competing goals and the limited hand-size make for a very modern-feeling game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Spiel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8212286529,"sku":"SPLSC01","price":10.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Scopa.jpg?v=1578609058","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/scopa","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
