Scala 40, also known as Scala Quaranta, is a popular Italian card game that is played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The game can be played by two to six players and the objective is to be the first player to reach a total of 40 points.

The Cards

A standard deck of 52 playing cards is used for Scala 40. The cards are divided into four suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. Each suit consists of thirteen cards, ranging from 2 to 10, and including the face cards: Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. In total, there are 40 cards in a Scala 40 deck.

How to Play

1. The game begins with each player receiving 13 cards from the dealer.

2. The player to the left of the dealer starts the game by placing a card face-up on the table. The next player then puts down a card of the same suit if they have one. If not, they can play any card. The objective is to create sequences of cards of the same suit, in ascending order.

3. If a player cannot play a card, they must pick up a card from the remaining deck. This continues until a player can play a card.

4. The game continues in a clockwise direction, with players taking turns to play cards in sequences or picking up cards when they cannot play.

5. Players can also build on existing sequences by adding cards of the same suit in ascending order.

6. Once a player has played all their cards, they win the round and score points based on the number of cards remaining in each opponent’s hand.

7. The game continues until a player reaches a total of 40 points. The player who reaches this total first wins the game.

Scoring

In Scala 40, the scoring is as follows:

  • Ace: 11 points
  • Face cards (Jack, Queen, King): 10 points each
  • All other cards: face value

The player who wins the round scores points based on the number of cards remaining in each opponent’s hand. The values of the remaining cards are added up and awarded to the winner. The players’ scores are then updated accordingly.

Scala 40 is an entertaining card game that combines strategy and luck. It’s a game that can be enjoyed by players of all ages, and it’s a great way to spend time with family and friends. So, gather your deck of cards and give Scala 40 a try!
