Rules and procedure
Game for two
The game for two is called "Spizzichino". Both participants receive ten cards at the beginning. The non-dealer starts the lead. There are no trumps . Color is compulsory. Each trick contains two cards. A played card can only be won with a higher one of the same suit.
The order of the cards is:
3; 2; Ace; King; Horse; Jack; 7; 6; 5; 4th
A played three cannot be won because it is the highest card of the respective suit. After each trick, both players draw another card, with the player who took the trick drawing first. The players have to show the drawn cards to each other. The player who stabbed comes out next.
After the first ten tricks there are no more cards to draw. The last ten tricks are played without drawing. At the end of the game, the points under the tricks are counted. Each ace gives one point. In addition, three pictures count as one point. (all three, twos, kings; horses; boys). Since there are twenty pictures, a total of six points are automatically given to the players. In addition, the last trick counts for one point. So there are a total of eleven points. (four aces, 20 pictures, extra point last trick). In addition, both players can receive extra points during the game by showing certain cards:
Three threes: 3 points Three twos: 3 points Three aces: 3 points
Four threes: 4 points Four twos: 4 points Four aces: 4 points
3, 2, ace of one suit (Napoli): 3 points
You can also use one card for multiple combinations. For example, if a player has three threes, three twos and three aces, he can get additional points for a possible Napoli combination (three, two, ace of one suit). However, this does not apply if a player z. B. shows three twos and shortly thereafter draws the fourth twos. Then he only receives 4 points in total. Whoever receives 31 points first after several games wins the game.
Three-player game
10 cards are distributed to each player, plus 10 cards are placed face up on the table. One player plays alone against the other two and simulates the fourth player by taking the fourth card of the trick from the open ones.
Four players play
There are two teams. The players on a team should not sit next to each other. Everyone receives 10 cards. The distribution of points always remains the same.
Variations
Trešeta
Trešeta is a popular variant of the card game along the Venetian / Italian influenced Adriatic coast of Slovenia , Croatia , Montenegro and Albania . It is particularly popular in Istria , Dalmatia and the Bay of Kotor .
It is played with an Italian standard card game (40 sheets), mostly with the regional playing card variant from Trieste. The Trieste map sheet dates from the middle of the 19th century. and is related to the Venetian leaf. It used to contain 52 cards, today 40 cards are common (8, 9 and 10 have been removed, the image values are still labeled 11 to 13). The picture cards are divided horizontally in the middle and mirrored. Between the mirrored components of the cards there is a text box with the name of the card. This layout, which is unusual for playing cards, is probably due to tarot / tarot cards and Austrian influence. It is the only variant of the Italian-Spanish hand in which all cards are numbered.

It is mainly played in groups of four, with two players (not sitting next to each other) forming a team. However, it can also be played in pairs or in a variation with three players (in this case any or all 4s are removed).
Usual rules and terms of the Croatian game:
- The order of the cards follows the Italian rules: 3 ( trojka / trica ); 2 ( dvojka / duja ); Ace ( aš ); King ( kralj ); Horse ( conj ); Jack ( fanat ); 7 ( sedmica ); 6 ( šestica ); 5 ( petica ); 4 ( četvorka ).
- At the beginning the participants receive ten cards. The person next to the dealer clockwise starts the lead. There are no trumps. Color is compulsory. A played card can only be won with a higher one of the same suit. After all the tricks have been played, the points are counted.
- punat denotes cards with the value = 1: (Ace ( aš )).
- bele denotes cards with the value = ⅓: 3 ( trojka / trica ); 2 ( dvojka / duja ); King ( kralj ); Horse ( conj ); Jack ( fanat ).
- lišine denotes cards of no value: 7 ( sedmica ); 6 ( šestica ); 5 ( petica ); 4 ( četvorka ).
- The winner of the last trick receives a full point (only ⅓ in Italian Tressette).
- A total of 10⅔ points (based on the card values) + 1 point (for the end of the game) are awarded per round (playfully). Since mostly only even scores are written down, the total per round fluctuates between 10 and 11.
- In contrast to the Italian version of the game, a total of 41 points are played.
- Additional points during each round through announcements ( akužavanje ): Each player can announce special points in the first trick before his first card throw (4 points for four 3s, four 2s or four aces, 3 points for three 3s, three 2s, three aces or that Ace, the 2 and 3 of the same suit (also called napolitana )). Combinations of the special points are possible (with ten cards per player, a maximum of 19 additional points are available). Subsequent registration of points is not possible. Sometimes the cards have to be shown to the other players in order to obtain the additional points.
- With a four-person Trešeta, it is common for the team partners to communicate with each other via signals (knocking on the table, swiping a card across the table, throwing a card through the air, etc.) and giving each other commands.
- While in Croatia the game is clockwise, the game is counterclockwise in Montenegro.
- Trešeta u ko manje is another game variant and corresponds to the Italian variant Chi fa meno , in which the attempt is made to score as few points as possible (comparable to the junk in Skat ). It is also possible to march through ( broken ) by one player making all the points.
