An Italian card game played with a deck of 40 cards, where players score points by taking tricks with higher-ranked cards or special combinations.
From Italian 'briscola,' possibly from Spanish 'brisca' or influenced by 'brusca' (rough). An Italian gambling and trick-taking card game, the name is unique to Italian gaming tradition.
Briscola is practically the national card game of Italy—entire Italian families have heated tournaments over it, and it uses only 40 cards (no 8s, 9s, or 10s), which makes it quite different from most card games!
