Briscola 101 - Basic Rules

[garythecreeper]

I prefer to play Scopa. :)

[amsardina11]

My grandparents who came from Italy taught me how to play Briscola. My mom and aunt can play too so we're all pretty good at it. Love playing it!

[rostiljboy666]

This along with Tressete is most popular card game in my town.I live in Kotor,Montenegro,but e play double briscola.....with four cards in hand and you drop 2 each "hand" :D

[onrainstreet]

Best Briscola instructional video I've found, thanks!!

[acdcfab]

If you play in 4 players, 2 vs 2, are the players allowed to communicate?

[KittySniper37]

@acdcfab when my freinds and i play we are allowed to communicate, excluding the first round.

[Mokurai108]

Well done. When I was growing up and we only had three players we would remove the 2 of Bastoni. That way you can play three handed. Hope this was helpful.

[toljka]

Does anybody know where i could find a large picture of the ace of bastoni?

The picture needs to be large enough to print it on a t-shirt. Help?

[Giank67]

Awesome game !

[Ommushwo]

what if there's a draw between two cards?

for example : The briscola is spada. i play an ace of bastone and the opponent plays an ace of coppe

[spanishitalianmix]

@Ommushwo first one who play the card wins in this case the ace of bastone

[boxer4life8]

what if you play and the other player both play a card of equal points for example what if both players play an ace?

[frankv1984]

you know how you say "liscio", which means low, when I play it, I have also heard "carrico", does that mean throw a high suit? when we play in teams, my partner will always say, go lisc, or go carrico

[Waltham11]

Yes carico means to throw a card of a different suit of the briscola that is either a three or an ace.

[Oslyvo]

no donna FANTE

[Waltham11]

Down south we call it donna, but im sure you call it fante. Really same thing different words.

[morondes]

@Waltham11 no, WE don't lol, sempre chiamato fante

[hubcap128]

what happens if one person puts down a card which isnt brisc, and another puts down a card from a different suit that is also not brisk, who wins...

[Gow40]

@hubcap128, wins the first who play the card, because the second hasn't played a higer card of the same kind, so if you want win you have to play an higer card of the same kind or a brisc...

[Kr0MG]

The one who put down the first card.

[orsotorinese]

It's simple, the first who plays take the cards!

[adorhoman]

the higher card wins

[rea93rea93]

the first person

[lambr8]

wins the first card...

[Waltham11]

The first person that threw the first card.

[999jackman999]

@hubcap128 the guy who has the highest card



[dixiechristian]

Thanks for explaining this. It's very helpful seeing it being played and not just reading instructions.

[iznetro]

no xk donna quando si dice fante!!!

[AlphaStabbo]

I'm italian and I want to give an advice: the best way to win a briscola's match is counting your points, the points of the other player, and the briscola that are dealed by the players... you need just a little bit of luck if u wanna win!!!!! hope it helps

[theedalbroi]

Scopa is another awesome game as well as briscola
