How to play Burraco What it trains in your mind

The rules

How it plays

Two partnerships use two full decks plus four jokers; deal eleven cards to each player and set aside two eleven-card pozzetti.
Draw from the stock or take the entire discard pile, optionally meld, then discard.
Build suited sequences or equal-rank sets of three or more cards.
A meld of seven or more is a burraco; clean burracos score more than dirty ones containing a wild.
A side normally must take its pozzetto and complete a burraco before going out.

Availability note. Expected October is an approximate target. The catalogue opens a few apps at a time, and each release waits until the one before it has settled in.

Ways to play

One game, played its own way.

One purchase contains the whole game: its rules, its tables, its illustrated guide, its daily challenge and the taught first game that walks you in. Each option below changes the table while keeping the engine's legal-move checks in charge.

Burraco

Burraco: two decks plus jokers, four-handed in partnerships or heads-up, build melds and burracos.

Standard Burraco, played with two full decks plus four jokers (108 cards), at the four-seat partnership table (a coppie) or heads-up with no partners (individuale).
Each side races to form melds and seven-card 'burracos', takes its own hidden pozzetto, and goes out; the first side to the target total wins.
Seats, target score and the going-out / wild-card rules are chosen on the template.

Every online table is a ladder. Each Arena table and each tournament above comes at four entry levels — Challenge 10 GC, Contest 50 GC, Championship 200 GC, and a Friendly 1 GC table that returns the coin to everyone who finishes. The higher the entry level, the more places share the reward; aiOrion keeps 10% of a paid table's entries to pay for running the online game, and nothing from a Friendly one.

Make it yours. Start from any of these, adjust the settings the game allows, and save it as your own template. Online tables start the same way: copy one of the Arena tables, then set the entry, the rewards and who may join.
