The Classic Italian card game:
Scopa is played with a classic Italian deck; the name is an Italian noun meaning "broom", since taking a scopa means "to sweep" all the cards from the table. The deck is divided into four suits, called Coins, Cups, Swords and Batons. Although several patterns (more than 22 regional decks are available) of Italian cards exist, the one more commonly used for playing Scopa is the NAPOLETANE (Napoli - Naples). Counting, Memory and Skills are important to the outcome of the game. Online rules, videos explanations are largely available in different languages.
