THE GAME OF escoba
How to play the card game escoba
Escoba is a game for 2 to 4 player and is a trick taking type of card game
that came from Spain. The game is played with the traditional Spanish Deck of playing cards also called naipes.
Escoba is derived from an old Italian card game called "Scopa
di Quindici". Escoba translates as "broom" which refers to
a move in the game where a player "sweeps" all of the playing cards from the board in
one turn.
The objective of the game is to get a set number of points which are
agreed upon before the start of the game. Play continues regardless of the
number of hands played until this agreed score is reached by one of the
players. The dealer shuffles the cards and gives them to the player on his
left to cut. The dealer then deals three cards to every player starting
with the player on his right and finally puts four cards face up in the
middle of the card table. The leader makes the 1st move; every move is
about adding the value of cards together to make fifteen.
