Italian Game Night: SCOPA, Snacks and New Friends!

🎉 This Tuesday evening, up to 16 enthusiastic players will gather to learn, play, and master SCOPA, one of Italy’s most beloved and historic card games!

Right at the start, we’ll find out who’s new to SCOPA and who has played before.
New players will enjoy a quick SCOPA 101 tutorial to get comfortable, and then we’ll seamlessly integrate everyone into the fun. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned player, everyone is welcome and supported by our wonderful community!

### 🤔 What is SCOPA?

Scopa—meaning "broom" or "sweep" 🧹 in Italian—is a classic card game that has brought families and friends together for centuries. The goal? To sweep the table clean of cards!
We’ll be using the traditional 40-card Scopa deck, featuring 4 suits:

• Denari (coins)
• Spade (swords)
• Bastoni (clubs)
• Coppe (cups)

Known for its easy-to-learn rules and exciting strategy, SCOPA is more than just a game—it’s a celebration of Italian culture, connection, joy, and a little friendly competition!
But that’s not all: we’re also building a tradition of Italian Game Nights! 🇮🇹
These regular events will dive into other beloved Italian games like Briscola, Tressette, and even Tombola (the original Bingo!) 🎭
It’s a perfect chance to bond with fellow Italian culture enthusiasts, enjoy some laughs, and create unforgettable memories.
