Thank you. This was our favorite card game and I miss playing it with her.
I love card games but I had never heard of an Italian deck. Great video, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for checking it out! Scopa is a great game and worth getting Italian cards for.
I like these games
I was looking for good two handed game .I learned Escoba.Which is very similar to Scopa 15.
I've enjoyed playing this with friends who had a Scopa deck. This is nice to see the adaptation you've provided. :)

I learned how to play scopa by playing a Nancy Drew computer game, lol.

Is there anything Nancy Drew can't do? Dal Negro makes a great mobile app for Scopa, I highly recommend it.
This was easy to follow and very well done. Hope you make others

Thank you!
Our scopa deck had the numbers on them. I was gonna write em on...keep picking up 1 more rule. Like last pick up gets the leftover cards. ...no clue on primera yet
First I must say, your grandmother was really an angel❤. I remember playing Scopa with my Nonna. I also remember her playing a solitaire game with the italian deck but I just cannot remember exactly how it went. She would basically lay out the cards one at a time in a long horizontal row and sometimes pile them up if certain ones matched or something. I think the goal was to make the row short by the end? Drives me crazy I cannot remember because I have the italian deck and want to play it by myself! Lol. Do you remember this particular solitaire game?

Thanks for watching and the nice comment about Nana. I am working on a video of the “stacking” Italian solitaire, which may be the one you played with your Nonna. The version I learned has a row of four single face up cards. You would then stack them with opposite suits, descending in value. It’s a little complicated but once you get the hang of it, quite fun. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

@@Play-In-Games i believe my Nonna's version was a really long row of cards that would keep going unless u got the correct ones to stack. I look forward to your videos and learning! Take care😊
Thank you for this very good video! Look forward to playing :) Also very nice with the images from Italy - what city is this?

Thanks for the nice comment! The town is called Cammarata, Sicily.
I wonder if keeping the extra Poker cards would somehow break the game, or if it's still playable.

I would like to know the answer to that!
What happens when neither player can lay a card on the pot and the pot is full?? This game doesn’t make sense

The pot doesn’t have a card limit. See the full play through video if you’d like to clear some of the trickier aspects. Thanks.
How come the queen is worth 9 The way I was taught to play was they were worth 8
