Learn more on WikipediaBriscola is a popular Italian card game, typically played by two to six players using a deck of 40 cards, which is made by removing the 8s, 9s, and 10s from a standard 52-card deck. The goal of the game is to be the first to reach a set number of points, usually 61 out of 120. The game is played in rounds, with players taking turns playing cards. The player who plays the highest card in the trump suit, or the highest card of the lead suit if there is no trump, wins the round. Points are scored based on the value of the cards won, with face cards and Aces having higher values. Briscola can be played in teams or individually, and it requires both strategy and luck to win.
