OutsetImagination Scopa Traditional Italian Card Game

The good thing about this game is that the cards are numbered 1 to 10 so that you're not trying to figure out what card corresponds to what number. For someone used to playing with the traditional deck of 52 cards (1-10, jacks, queens and kings), it might not be that easy to identify the card and its number. This version does that for you. It also comes with a 2nd deck (exact same thing) so that you could play briscola with it while the 1st deck lets you play scopa. The rules for scopa and briscola are in the instruction sheet. For any doubt, you can always watch videos. There's like 4 videos on both games.We have not tried playing briscola yet as we are enjoying scopa at the moment. The mechanism reminds me a bit of the sleeping queens game where you can steal cards from your opponent. In scopa, you do only one of 2 things during your turn: you can either score or steal. The game goes fast but several rounds are needed to reach a score of 11.Great game with replayability - especially while travelling or at a pub (Italian pub or Irish pub no matter LOL).

Been looking for so long for the Scopa (Punto) card game and was so excited when I found this one. It just arrived and I love it. The packaging is lovely and the cards are are great quality and there are two decks! It also comes with a scorepad that is like a little bonus. The instructions are easy to understand and I can't wait to play with my grandkids. I would highly recommend this Scopa set to all.

Loisir facile et agréable.

Four stars rather than five because I wish the cards were slightly bigger - they are smallish bridge-deck size, rather than the bigger, wider poker deck size. But good stiff and very smooth card quality, with excellent graphics. Some reviews of other Scopa card decks comment on poor quality cards - these are very good quality. And the price is right, complete with a scoring pad and good instructions.

cards are great and good quality
