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. đ

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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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).
Â
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.
Â
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.

Significa "escombra" i és un dels jocs de cartes tradicionals més famosos d'Ità lia, com la Briscola.
TambĂ© s'hi juga a molts altres paĂŻsos, i encara que ningĂș sap realment d'on provenen les regles, normalment s'hi juga amb una baralla de cartes napolitana.
No publiquem gaire sovint jocs tan clĂ ssics, perĂČ aquest Ă©s tan popular que volĂem fer-ho saber.
En vols més detalls?
Tots els jugadors es disposen al voltant de la superfĂcie de joc.
Si es juga en equip, els membres de l'equip han de seure cara a cara.
Es tria un jugador per ser el repartidor.
Cada jugador rep tres cartes.
El repartidor els reparteix les cartes d'una en una, en sentit contrari a les agulles del rellotge, començant pel jugador de la seva dreta.
Durant aquest repartiment, el repartidor també posarà quatre cartes cara amunt a la taula.
Es pot repartir una carta de taula abans no comenci el repartiment, immediatament desprĂ©s de repartir-se una carta a ells mateixos perĂČ abans de repartir-la al segĂŒent jugador, o desprĂ©s de repartir les tres cartes a tots els jugadors.
Com que Ă©s impossible escombrar en una partida en quĂš on les cartes inicials de la taula inclouen tres o quatre reis, aquest repartiment es considera invĂ lid.
Les cartes es tornen a remenar i el repartidor torna a repartir.
El jugador a la dreta del repartidor comença el joc.
Aquest jugador té dues opcions: Posar una carta a la taula o jugar una carta per capturar-ne una o més.
Es realitza una captura fent coincidir una carta de la mĂ del jugador amb una carta del mateix valor a la taula o, si aixĂČ no Ă©s possible, fent coincidir una carta de la mĂ del jugador amb la suma dels valors de dues o mĂ©s cartes a la taula.
En ambdĂłs casos, tant la carta de la mĂ del jugador com la o les cartes capturades s'eliminen i es posen cara avall en una pila davant del jugador.
Aquestes cartes estan fora de joc fins que es calculen les puntuacions al final de la ronda.
Si capturant s'eliminen totes les cartes de la taula, se'n diu scopa i s'atorga un punt addicional al final de la ronda (tret que aixĂČ hagi passat amb la carta final jugada per l'Ășltim jugador de l'Ășltima mĂ d'una ronda, en aquest cas les cartes encara es capturen perĂČ no s'atorga cap punt addicional).
Després que tots els jugadors hagin jugat les tres cartes el repartidor reparteix tres cartes més a cada jugador, començant de nou amb el jugador a la seva dreta.
Aleshores, aquest torna a jugar.
No es posen cartes addicionals a la taula.
Aquest procés es repeteix fins que no queden cartes a la baralla.
DesprĂ©s que el repartidor hagi jugat la carta final de l'Ășltima mĂ de la ronda, el jugador que hagi capturat mĂ©s recentment rep les cartes restants a la taula i es calculen els punts per a cada jugador o equip.
Si cap equip no ha guanyat encara la partida, el repartidor es mou cap a la dreta.
El nou repartidor remena i reparteix les cartes tal com s'ha descrit anteriorment.
