Scarto is one of the oldest and simplest Tarocchi games. It is played with the 78-card Italian-suited Taroccco Piemontese deck. The main challenge for new players is getting used to playing with Italian suits, but once this obstacle is overcome, Scarto proves to be an interesting Tarot game, but with no bidding round, which makes it simpler than most others. It is a short, 3-player game, consisting of 1 round of 3 hands, that has the interesting aspect of having 2 winners and 1 loser, who traditionally pays a small stake to the winners (most commonly a round of drinks).
Note: Since this is not a gambling club, no wagers will be made (unless all are in agreement to do so).
