The name "Scopa" means "sweep" or "broom" in Italian, and refers to the action of picking up all face-up cards on the table. Scopa is a traditional Italian card game (actually a family of card games that includes Scopone, Scopetta, and Scopone Scientifico) played in regions of Italy for over 400 years. The game is played with a 40-card Italian deck (similar to a conventional deck minus the 8s, the 9s, and the 10s). Four-player games are usually played in partnership; other numbers of players typically play for themselves.
In some ways, Scopa can be thought of as a precursor to many popular modern game designs. The multiple competing goals and the limited hand-size make for a very modern-feeling game.
