Talk:Scopa

Fishing
I just changed game type to 'fishing', from trick-taking. I know that seems like a joke, but that's actually what Scopa is, like curenta, rather than boure or the like.

For all I know, and the Italian wiki says, the scopone scientifico is played with 9 cards in hand and 4 on the table - scientific is referred to the fact that luck has a lesser role in the first hand. Gioland71 02:40, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * What I have read is that the four player game with all cards dealt out at the beginning, is the "scientific" game, whether each player nine cards and four cards on the floor, or each player ten cards and no cads on the floor, are just subvariants. --Zzo38 (talk) 22:04, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Italian cards
It says the "Italian" cards is used, but I think actually the cards used are called "Italo-Spanish" cards, which is one of the kind of Italian cards; another kind of Italian cards is the "North Italian" cards, which has more cards than the "Italo-Spanish" deck; to use them for this game you will have to omit some cards so that you are left with only forty cards.

Scopa at the last round
This article claims "Clearing the table on the last play of the last hand of a round does not count as a scopa." but I can't find any rule where this is specified. Can we source this ?
