The rules

How it plays

  1. Use a 40-card deck and deal three cards to each player.
  2. Reveal the final deck card: its suit becomes briscola and the card stays visible until drawn.
  3. Players may play any card; following suit is not required.
  4. Trump wins a trick, otherwise the highest card of the led suit wins; rank is A, 3, K, Q, J, 7, 6, 5, 4, 2.
  5. Captured cards total 120 points; 61 points wins a standard deal.
Availability note. Local play is available now. Arena and tournament features arrive as their online service opens, game by game — the offline game never depends on them.

Ways to play

Variants, not separate apps.

One purchase contains the supported rules family. Each option below changes the table while keeping the engine's legal-move checks in charge.

Heads-up

Classic two-player Briscola to 61.

  • Two individual players.
  • The trick winner draws first and leads next.

Four players, partners

Two partnerships sit across from one another.

  • Partners combine captured-card points.
  • Table reading and preserving a partner's winning card become central.

Best of three

The club-style a smazzate match.

  • Play three deals.
  • The opening leader alternates between sides; most deal wins takes the match.

Make it yours. Start from any of these, adjust the settings the game allows, and save it as your own template. When online play opens you can publish a custom table for others to join.
