Setting your table…
A few rules to keep beside you
Choose any card from your hand. If it matches a table card, take one matching card. Otherwise, take a group that adds up to your card’s value. If your chosen card can capture, it must capture; if it cannot, leave it on the table.
A clear table earns a scopa, except on the very last play of a deal. Court cards capture as 8 (Fante), 9 (Cavallo), and 10 (Re). An Ace is 1. After each deal, count most cards, most coins, settebello, primiera, and sweeps. Tied collection categories score no point.
We use the same traditional two-player rules as our lessons. The dealer alternates each deal, and the non-dealer starts. Matches are decided after a complete deal; tied leaders play another. See the full scoring guide.
How the computer plays, and what stays on your device
The opponent weighs captures, coins, the settebello, primiera, and the risk of leaving you a sweep. It uses its own hand and public cards; it cannot inspect your hand or the order of the remaining deck. Optional hints use the same information available to you.
