How it begins

This is not interactive fiction, but a graphical implementation of the card game Scopa.

You begin by clicking which card style you want to play with: Milanese, Neapolitan, or Sicilian.

Notable features

• Almost entirely mouse-driven and graphical displays. Game play is mostly clicking on cards or buttons. Credits and Help are about the only things that are in pure text.
