How Escoba is played here
The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.
- Two to four players. At four you play in partnerships, sitting opposite.
- Every capture must come to exactly fifteen, counting the card you play. There is no pairing and no other total.
- Clear the table and it is an escoba — a point on its own, straight away. Four cards that already make fifteen are the dealer's before anybody plays.
- Four points a deal: most cards, most coins, the seven of coins and most sevens. Any of them can be tied, and then nobody scores it.
How it works
- Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
- Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
- Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.
