The rules

How it plays

  1. Use a 40-card Italian deck with no trump and deal ten cards to each player.
  2. Players must follow the led suit when able.
  3. Cards rank 3, 2, A, K, Q, J, 7, 6, 5, 4 within the led suit.
  4. Aces score one point; 2s, 3s and figures score one third; the last trick adds one point.
  5. In partnership play, partners combine their captured-card 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

2 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 2. Each option below changes the table while keeping the engine's legal-move checks in charge.

Tresette

Classic Tresette: 40-card Italian deck, no trump, points in thirds.

  • Standard Tresette played with the full 40-card Italian deck and no trump, using the distinctive 3-2-Ace ranking.
  • Win the aces and figures and the last trick to take the deal.
  • Play heads-up with a stock draw, or four in two partnerships.
  • The reverse game (Ciapanò / Traversone / Rovescino), where everyone plays alone and the player who takes the fewest tricks wins, is its own variant.

Ciapanò

The reverse game, everyone for themselves: the player who takes the FEWEST tricks wins ('a perdere').

  • The beloved reverse game — Ciapanò, also known as Traversone or Rovescino, Tresette 'a perdere'.
  • Same deck, same tricks, same 3-2-Ace ranking, but everyone plays for themselves — no partnerships — and there are no card points at all: only the NUMBER of tricks you take counts, and whoever takes the fewest wins. (Tables that score Ciapanò by card points instead will find this the simpler, faster reading of the reverse game.) High cards become liabilities and the humble 4s, 5s and 6s become the cards to treasure.
  • Every trick you dodge is a trick your opponents must swallow.

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.
