Briscola is the Italian card game similar to bridge in that there are four suits and one of them becomes the dominant Trump suit for any given hand. One difference is that the Trump is assigned by complex bidding in bridge and it is a random turn of a card at the beginning of the game in Briscola. In either case you use the same Italian cards that you use for Scopa. The card ranks, for scoring and taking tricks goes almost in expected numeric order, Ace high, then the Three no idea why its in this spot in the hierarcy, it just is then the King and so on down the line to the lowly deuce.

Briscola is a Mediterranean trick-taking card game for two to six players, played with a standard Italian card deck. As you can see, the total value of cards in the deck adds up to points. Therefore, the player or team which scores 61 points or more wins the game.
A game is drawn if both parties end up with a Total of Briscola is played to the best of 3 or the best of 5 games. For the purposes of simplicity, we will explain here the 2-player version of the game. This can serve as the basis for multi-player versions. One of the two players shuffles the deck and deals three cards to each player, one at a time, face down. This face up card determines the "Briscola", the Trump Suit for the game.
Thereafter, whoever wins the Trick leads next. Once a trick is played, each player draws a card from the top of the deck. After each trick, each player draws a card from the pile of undealt cards and the winner leads to the next trick. Eventually all the undealt cards will be exhausted, and one of the two players will have to draw the Briscola card. The game then continues, without drawing cards, until all the cards have been played.
The player with the most points wins. If the Briscola, the card turned up at the deal, is an Ace or a 3, it is returned to the middle of the deck and another card turned to make Briscola. As above. Players are set in two fixed partnerships, and partners sit opposite each other.
The player to the dealers right leads first, and play proceeds counter clockwise. As above, only the deck is reduced to 39 cards by removing a 2. In this 5-player version, the basic rules remain the same, but there are some important variants.
All the 40 cards are dealt out and each player ends up with 8 cards and can pick their hand up and look at it. Starting with the player to the right of the dealer, everyone in turn "declares" how many points they think they can win.
Each bid must be higher than the previous one. A player who does not wish to bid can pass. A player who has passed cannot bid again during the auction. The bidding continues, for several rounds if necessary, until all the players except one have passed. The highest bidder then "calls" the Briscola. That means he calls the card that will act as the Briscola and determine the trump suit.
It is important that the Holder not reveal his identity. At the end of the game, tricks won by the Caller and by the Holder are counted together. The three other players lose a point each. The Other three players gain 1 point each. History of Playing Cards. Early Standards. Gallery of Playing Cards. Card Backs.
