Regole di Italian Buraco

Played by 4 players in 2 pairs using 2 decks of 54 cards (including jokers) = 108 cards total.

Deal: 11 cards to each player. Two "pozzetti" (piles of 11 face-down cards) are formed per pair, to be collected during the game.

Turn: draw a card from the deck or take the discard pile. Lay down combinations (minimum 3 cards of equal value = set; or sequence of at least 3 of the same suit = run). Discard a card.

Burraco: a combination of 7 or more cards. Clean burraco (no jokers) = 200 points; dirty burraco (with jokers) = 100 points.

Closing: a player may close after laying down at least one burraco. They collect the pozzetto, may lay more combinations, then discard their last card. The game ends and scores are tallied.
