It means "broom" and is one of the most famous traditionnal card games from Italy, like Briscola.
It is also played in many other countries, and while nobody really knows where the rules came from, it is usually played with a Napoletane card deck.
We do not often release such classic games, but this one is so popular that we wanted to shout about it. 😉
Want some more details about it?
All players arrange themselves around the playing surface. If playing in teams, team members should be opposite each other. One player is chosen to be the dealer.
Each player receives three cards. The dealer deals them out one card at a time, in a counter-clockwise direction, beginning with the player to their right. During this deal, the dealer will also place four cards face up on the table. A table card may be dealt before the deal begins, immediately after dealing a card to themselves but before dealing to the next player, or after dealing all players all three cards.
As it is impossible to sweep in a game where the initial table cards include three or four kings, such a deal is considered invalid. The cards are re-shuffled, and the dealer deals again.
The player to the dealer's right begins play. This player has two options: Either place a card on the table or play a card to capture one or more cards. A capture is made by matching a card in the player's hand to a card of the same value on the table, or if that is not possible, by matching a card in the player's hand to the sum of the values of two or more cards on the table. In both cases, both the card from the player's hand and the captured card(s) are removed and placed face down in a pile in front of the player. These cards are now out of play until scores are calculated at the end of the round. If by capturing all cards were removed from the table, it is called a scopa, and an additional point is awarded at the end of the round (unless this happened with the final card played by the last player of the last hand of a round, in which case cards are still captured but no additional point is awarded).
After all players have played all three cards, the dealer deals out three more cards to each player, again beginning with the player to their right. That player then begins play again. No additional cards are dealt to the table. This process is repeated until no cards remain in the deck.
After the dealer has played the final card of the final hand of the round, the player who most recently captured is awarded any remaining cards on the table, and points are calculated for each player or team. If no team has yet won the game, the deal moves to the right. The new dealer shuffles and deals the cards as described above.

Pomeni "metla" in je ena najbolj znanih tradicionalnih iger s kartami iz Italije, kot je Briscola.
Igra se tudi v mnogih drugih državah, in čeprav nihče v resnici ne ve, od kod izvirajo pravila, se običajno igra s kompletom Napoletanskih kart.
Takšnih klasičnih iger ne izdajamo pogosto, a ta je tako priljubljena, da smo želeli vpiti o njej.
Želite več podrobnosti o tem?
Vsi igralci se razporedijo po igralni površini.
Če igrate v ekipah, morajo biti člani ekipe drug nasproti drugemu.
En igralec je izbran za delilca.
Vsak igralec prejme tri karte.
Delitelj jim deli eno kartico naenkrat v nasprotni smeri urnega kazalca, začenši z igralcem na njihovi desni.
Med tem delom bo delilec na mizo položil tudi štiri karte z obrnjeno navzgor.
Namizna karta se lahko razdeli, preden se delitev začne, takoj po tem, ko sami sebi delijo karto, vendar preden razdelijo naslednjemu igralcu, ali potem, ko vsem igralcem razdelijo vse tri karte.
Ker je nemogoče pometati v igri, kjer začetne mizne karte vključujejo tri ali štiri kralje, se tak dogovor šteje za neveljaven.
Karte se ponovno premešajo in delilec ponovno deli.
Igralec na delivčevi desni začne igro.
Ta igralec ima dve možnosti: ali položi karto na mizo ali igra s karto, da zajame eno ali več kart.
Zajem se izvede tako, da se karta v igralčevi roki poveže s karto enake vrednosti na mizi ali, če to ni mogoče, z ujemanjem karte v igralčevi roki z vsoto vrednosti dveh ali več kart na miza.
V obeh primerih se tako karta iz igralčeve roke kot zajeta(-e) karta(e) odstranita in položita z licem navzdol na kup pred igralca.
Te karte zdaj niso v igri, dokler se rezultati ne izračunajo na koncu kroga.
Če so bile z zajemanjem vse karte odstranjene z mize, se to imenuje scopa in na koncu kroga se dodeli dodatna točka (razen če se to zgodi s zadnjo karto, ki jo je odigral zadnji igralec zadnje kombinacije kroga, v tem primeru so karte še vedno zajete, vendar se dodatna točka ne dodeli).
Ko vsi igralci odigrajo vse tri karte, deli delivec vsakemu igralcu še tri karte, spet začenši z igralcem na njihovi desni.
Ta igralec nato znova začne igrati.
Na mizo se ne delijo nobene dodatne karte.
Ta postopek se ponavlja, dokler v krovu ne ostane nobena karta.
Ko delilec odigra zadnjo karto zadnje igre kroga, se igralcu, ki je nazadnje ujel, dodelijo vse preostale karte na mizi, točke pa se izračunajo za vsakega igralca ali ekipo.
Če nobena ekipa še ni zmagala v igri, se posel premakne v desno.
Novi delilec premeša in deli karte, kot je opisano zgoraj.
