The rules

How it plays

Play one card to capture a table card of equal value or a combination with the same sum.
When an equal single card exists, standard rules require taking it instead of a combination.
Clearing the table scores a scopa, except on the final play of the deal.
Score most cards, most coins, the settebello, the best primiera and every scopa.
Continue deals until a player or partnership reaches the target score.

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

4 games for the price of one.

Every variant here is a game of its own — its own rules and legal-move checking, its own tables, its own illustrated guide, its own daily challenge, its own achievements and its own taught first game that walks you in. One purchase brings all 4. Each option below changes the table while keeping the engine's legal-move checks in charge.

Scopa

The classic game: 3-card hands, 4 on the table, sweep to score.

Classic Scopa with the full 40-card Italian deck.
Each deal gives three cards per player and four face up on the table.
Capture table cards by matching a single value or a sum; sweep the whole table for a bonus point.
Score for the most cards, the most coins, the seven of coins (settebello) and the best primiera.
Play heads-up, with three players, or four in two partnerships.

Scopone

The partnership game: nine cards each, four on the table, one deal.

Scopone is Scopa's serious partnership form. The whole pack is dealt at once — nine cards to each of four players and four face up on the table — so there are no fresh deals and no cards left to come.
Capture, scoring and the sweep all work exactly as in Scopa, and the same four points are played for: most cards, most coins, the settebello and the primiera.
What changes is knowledge: with every card dealt from the start, a careful partnership can count the pack and know precisely what its opponents hold.

Scopone scientifico

Four players in pairs; the whole deck is dealt — ten cards each, none on the table.

The 'scientific' partnership game, considered the deepest form of Scopa.
The whole 40-card deck is dealt in a single deal: ten cards to each of the four players and none to the table, so nothing is hidden from the deal — only from your memory.
Partners sit opposite and combine their piles.
Because every card is in play from the start, counting, deduction and partnership signalling decide the game far more than luck.

Asso piglia tutto

Playing an ace captures the whole table.

The lively family favourite: playing an ace captures every card on the table.
If an ace already lies on the table your ace takes only that ace — and on an empty table the ace is simply laid down.
Everything else follows classic Scopa — deal, sweeps and the four scoring points.
Aces become the most powerful cards in the deck, so the timing of when to spend them, and when to force opponents to waste theirs, drives the game.

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.
