Briscola

Briscola (brìscula in Sicilian, briškula in Croatian, la brisca in Spanish) is an Italian trick-taking card game for two to six players, played with a standard Italian 40-card deck. The game is also popular in Croatia, Puerto Rico, and Spain. With three or six players, twos are removed from the deck to ensure the number of cards in the deck is a multiple of the number of players; one two for three players and all four twos for six players. The four- and six-player versions of the game are played as a partnership game of two teams, with players seated such that every player is adjacent to two opponents.
