Briscola is Italy's most popular card game. You play against the computer. Each player gets 3 cards, and one card is flipped face-up — that card's suit is the trump suit (called "Briscola"). Trump cards beat everything.
You and the computer each play one card. The higher card wins and takes both cards. After each round, you both draw a new card from the deck. Keep going until all 40 cards have been played (20 rounds total).
If both cards are the same suit, the higher-ranked card wins. If the second player plays a trump card, they win automatically. If the suits are different and neither is trump, the first card played wins. The key twist — you never have to match the other player's suit. You can play any card you want.
Not all cards are equal. Ace = 11 points, 3 = 10 points, King = 4, Queen = 3, Jack = 2. Cards numbered 2 through 7 are worth zero. There are 120 total points in the deck — the first player to reach 61 points wins.
Ace → 3 → King → Queen → Jack → 7 → 6 → 5 → 4 → 2. Yes, the 3 is the second strongest card — that's what makes Briscola unique.
Save your trump cards for stealing high-value rounds. Play your worthless cards (2, 4, 5, 6, 7) early to see what the computer does. The Ace and 3 together are worth 21 points — always try to capture them.
