Brisca
Brisca is a popular Spanish card game played by two teams of two with a 40-card Spanish-suited pack or two teams of three using a 48-card pack.
Brisca and its cousins are widespread in many countries, especially in the Mediterranean and Latin American areas. Related games include Italian Briscola, Lombard Brìscula, Sicilian Brìscula, Neapolitan Brìscula or Brisca, Catalonian Brisca, Portuguese Bisca, Montenegrin and Croatian Briškula, Slovenian Briškola, Maltese Bixkla, and Libyan Skembeel.
Its origin is probably found in Brusquembille, a French game whose rules were published in 1718. The development and scoring of the cards are similar, but Brusquembille was played with a French Piquet pack of 32 cards. This evolved into another game called Brisque that gave rise to Brisca, Bezique and the highly elaborate Briscan. Another theory proposes an Italian origin of from the game of Bazzica, which is similar to Bezique.
To win this game, a player must earn as many points as possible, winning the rounds. The highest cards of each suit are:
To start the game, three cards are dealt to each player. In the four-player game, in some variants the players of each pair exchange cards to find out which three cards their partner has. If there are six players they can also exchange cards within their team of three.
After the cards have been dealt, the remainder are placed in the middle of the table and the top card turned and placed face up. The suit of this card determines which suit is the trump suit; the cards of this suit always beat all of the others, however high they may be. In some game variations, one trump suit is assigned per deal, starting with Coins, that is to say, in the first deal it is Coins; in the second, Cups; in the third, Swords, and finally, Clubs. At the end of these four deals, the player with the most victories or the most points from the four deals wins.
The player to the right of the dealer leads a card to the first trick and each player plays a card to the trick in turn. Then the player on his right throws another card and so on. If playing between two people then each player must draw two cards alternating the play.
Playing the highest card (assist) is not mandatory as in Tute and a player may choose to play a lower card if they fear, for example, that their opponent may beat it. The last player to play will be the one who has dealt.
