How to Play Scopa

Описание: Scopa Quick Rules
GoalCapture cards from the center to earn points. Points are awarded based on specific end-of-round achievements. The first player or team to reach 11 points wins.
Players: 2–4 (4 players play in teams)
SetupUsing a standard deck, remove all 8s, 9s, and 10s, leaving 40 cards. Shuffle, then deal three cards to each player and four face-up in the center. The remaining deck forms a draw pile.
GameplayPlayers take turns playing one card from their hand to try to capture cards from the center.

1. Capturing
Match by Rank: Play a card that matches the rank of a center card to capture it (e.g., a 5 captures a 5).
Match by Sum: Play a card that equals the sum of multiple cards in the center (e.g., a 5 captures a 3 and 2).
Note: If both matching and summing apply, you only capture the matching card by rank.

2. Card Values:
Ace = 1,
2–7 = face value,
Jack/Queen/King = 8, 9, 10.

3. No Capture: If you can’t capture, add a card from your hand to the center.
4. Scopa: Clearing all cards from the center in one turn is called a Scopa, earning 1 extra point at the end of the round. (A Scopa on the last play of the round does not count.)
When players play all three cards, deal another three to each from the deck. Do not add more cards to the center.
End of RoundWhen all players have played their cards, the last player to capture collects any remaining cards in the center.
ScoringAt round’s end, players earn 1 point each for:
Capturing the most cards
Capturing the most cards in Diamonds
Capturing the 7 of Diamonds
Having the best Primiera hand (best card in each suit)
Primiera: Calculate by taking the highest card per suit with values ranked:
7, 6, A, 5, 4, 3, 2, JQK
(As a shortcut, award the Primiera point to the player with the most 7s.)
WinningPlay rounds until the first player or team reaches 11 points to win.
