Italian Cards – Scopa


[Music]
hey welcome to watchmojo.com I’m your
host Monique and today I’m gonna teach
you how to place Coppa now an Italian
scopa means to boom or to sweep and the
object of the game is to clean the table
of cards but before you start playing I
want to tell you a few things you should
know
in scopa ladawna is worth 8 points you
Cavallo’s worth 9 points and eBay is
worth 10 points and of course we have
the most coveted card to set down bellow
when you’re playing scopa you could play
from anywhere with 2 to 4 players and if
you’re playing with four players you
usually make teams the person sitting
across from you but today we’re gonna
play two players so when you’re dealing
you give your opponent three cards you
give yourself three cards and you open
up four cards in the middle now the goal
of the game is to get more points in
your opponents and the way you do that
is by matching the cards in your hands
to the cards on the table so for example
Christine has a seven in their hand and
there’s a seven on the table so she
picks it up now another way to pick up
cars is by adding what’s on the table to
equal what’s in your hand for example
you could take the 5 and the 2 to equal
7
sometimes you have more than one option
on the table for example you can have a
five in the two which equals seven or
you have the seven itself in a single
card and by rule you have no choice but
to pick up the single card now sometimes
the cards in your hand match nothing
that’s on the table but you’re still
forced to play a card now when you and
your opponent are finish the cards in
your hands the dealing redistributes
another three cards now if at any point
during the game the cards on the table
equals something that you have in your
hand you can make a scopa which is an
automatic point so now when there’s no
more cards left to play and there’s no
more cards left on the table the game is
over and you count cards to see who’s
won the game
one way to count points is to see who
has the most cards if you have more than
twenty cards you get an automatic point
and if you have twenty cards that means
your opponent has twenty cards and no
one gets a point because you’re equal
another way to make points during the
game is to collect sculp us and each
scopa you make is worth one point
another way to earn a point during scopa
is to pick up the set de bello which is
an automatic point another way to earn
points is to collect denarii whoever has
the most at the end of the game gets a
point
now another way to make a point in scopa
is to earn la primera which is whoever
has the most seventh and in this case
christine has three out of four so she
gets an automatic point
