A Game From The Family

Not a Newfie game, but NewfieCards is about family, and family stretches further than the rock

Scopa

Beta

The Italian sweeping game, played with a forty-card Italian deck. Match a card on the table or a handful that adds up to it, clear the table for a scopa, and fight all night over the seven of coins. This Newfie married an Italian princess, and this was her Nonni's game.

Briscola

Future Plans

The other Italian game everybody knows. Forty cards, one suit turned up as trump, and you follow nothing: play what you like and take the trick if you can.

Tre Sette

Future Plans

Three Sevens: the quiet, serious one of the three. No trumps at all, you must follow suit, and partners are not allowed to say a word about what they hold.
