The games

Wordkeeper · Word search

A word game. You find the ones hidden in a grid of letters by dragging your finger: across, down, diagonally, forwards or backwards.

Briscola · Card game

The Italian forty-card classic, online and free. It opens in the browser and you play straight away: against the computer, or with friends as two, three or two pairs.

Scopa · Card game

Scopa, online and free: you capture by adding up cards, and whoever clears the table scores a scopa. Against the computer, or with friends as two, three or in pairs at Scopone.

Guides to Briscola

Briscola is a game many people learnt at a family table and few have ever seen written down. So next to the game there are three guides, in English, Italian and Spanish: the rules for anyone starting from scratch, with two, three or four players; the strategy, for anyone who already plays and wants to lose fewer hands; and the regional decks, the story of the cards Italians grow up with and how to tell them apart.

Games in beta

A game marked Beta is fully playable but still being polished: some screens may change, and a mistake may slip through. Telling us what you notice is the quickest way to get it fixed.
