Tarren (They/Them)<p>OK, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://dragonscave.space/@TheZooLady" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>TheZooLady</span></a></span> got a thought stuck in my head, and it led to the following <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/GameIdea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameIdea</span></a> seed based off of <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/EscoponeEscoba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EscoponeEscoba</span></a>:</p><p>SETUP:<br>1. Remove all face cards from the deck. (This is based on the two app versions of <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Scopa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scopa</span></a> that I play which use the cards 1-10. Shuffle the remaining cards.<br>2. Deal a 5x5 grid of cards onto the table, face-up.<br>3. Set the remaining cards aside to form the stock.</p><p>PLAY:<br>1. Remove as many cards from the table as possible, going vertically or horizontally, in groups that add up to 15.<br>2. When all possible combinations of cards have been removed, I see 2 possible approaches to filling the blanks with the stock:<br>2a. Move all cards remaining in the grid down to the bottoms of their columns, then all the way left. Fill the remaining spaces, working up and right.<br>2b. Just fill each blank space with a card, then use the movement pattern from 2a to ensure the cards are as consolidated as possible.<br>3. Regardless how step 2 is achieved, return to step 1.</p><p>WINNING CONDITIONS:<br>If you *really* want to make the game hard, all cards must be removed from the grid. More forgiving ideas are to have no more than 11 cards remaining (a nod to the common score limit of Scopa) or 15 (a nod to the 15 required to remove a set from the board.<br>Thoughts welcome, but adding a poll as well here to gauge general reaction.<br>__Screen Readers Stop here<br><a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/CardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CardGames</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Games</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/PlayingCards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlayingCards</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/GameRules" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameRules</span></a></p>
Andreas Freise<p>Current status.</p><p>Playing Scopone again for the first time in ages. I recently saw a group of Spanish people playing it on a German train, which made me order a pack of those cards. My Italian friends who taught me the rules all those years ago, during an Interrail trip through eastern Europe, would be proud.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/cardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cardgames</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/scopa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scopa</span></a></p>

Júbilo MX<p>Playing <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Scopa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Scopa</span></a> ... It needs a deck of Italian cards... similar to the Spanish deck.. growing up in <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Mexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mexico</span></a> it was common to see a Spanish deck laying around, but no one ever teach me how to play a game with that deck... The deck instead of diamonds, hearts, clubs, and spades... has coins (i guess replacing the diamonds), actual clubs, actual swords, and cups, which would be somehow a replacement for hearts.</p>

Júbilo MX<p>after playing Koi-Koi, no playing <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Scopa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Scopa</span></a>, an Italian/Spanish game play with a deck of cards different from the French one. One could argue that this deck is the original one and the coins were converted into diamonds and here a club is obviously a club.</p>
Júbilo MX<p>I have discovered... more like define clearly.. that i like <a href="https://toot.community/tags/card" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>card</span></a> (and card-like-tile) games about capturing cards to complete a hand... like Spanish/Italian Escoba <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Scopa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Scopa</span></a>, or Korean/Japanese GoStop <a href="https://toot.community/tags/KoiKoi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KoiKoi</span></a> or Chinese <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Mahjong" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mahjong</span></a></p>
