Steampunk Scopa is a modernized version of an Italian classic card game that's been played for over four centuries!
If you are a fan of fast-paced card games mixing skill and chance, we know you'll LOVE playing Steampunk Scopa! It's easy to learn and quick to play with several versions to choose from using the same deck. It's based on the classic and highly popular Italian card game, Scopa. Each round places you against your challengers as you try to "sweep away your enemies." Like the original game, Steampunk Scopa builds in challenge the more you play. We've added to this amazing classic by bringing new character cards and expanded versions for exciting play at all levels!
Kings and Queens are joined by Jesters, Knaves, Rogues, and the occasional Spy, Sky Captain, and more. Strategies kick in as players try to "sweep the battlefield" of cards clear and capture their enemies to earn points to win the game, It's an all out war as the battles rapidly shift from round to round of play.
HOW TO PLAY
Conventional Steampunk Scopa
(quick and easy play)
Each player is dealt three cards from the deck of 55 cards. The dealer turns over the the next 4 cards for all to see and places them on the table. Each player starts by trying to combine number cards to total 7 (seven) OR match any character card in their hand (Kings for Kings, 4s for 4s, Queens for Queens, etc.). As they do, they collect the cards in their own pile for points at the end of the round.
Players continue to try to match and "sweep" and capture number and face cards as each round proceeds until the deck is fully played. But watch out, as "special cards" appear to disrupt battles and shift the game!
There's SO much more!
As players are dealt their three cards each round, special cards like the Warlock* can appear, shifting the entire battle! The Spy* can render even the most powerful card meaningless. The Steampunk Mechanic* can fix anything (for better or worse), while the Sky Captain* shifts the winds of war. And watch out for the "X*" cards as this Steampunk technology will change a player's strategy in seconds!
Extended and Advanced Play
Steampunk Scopa can be played in multiple challenging versions from the same deck designed for your skills and enjoyment!

Our Story
Like any good game design prospect, we've been testing!
Ages 8 to 80 have SO enjoyed our games, they can't wait for the next editions and expansion sets. We started with a half dozen printed decks, mini hour glass timers, and yup...you can see it here...a "doorman's bell!"
What we kept seeing were the smiles. Players enjoyed different aspects of our games. The thing that was obvious was that regardless of age, everyone wanted to play more. We know you'll be the same, enjoying hours of fun with family and friends as you join the Anaveno Games community.
Thanks Dr. Vadell and Team TechEspresso!
