escoba

Escoba is a traditional spanish card game which means "broom".

The game is played with a 40-card Spanish deck with cards worthing 1 to 10 in each of the four suits. It can be played from 2 to 4 players.

The game is played through several rounds in which the dealer deals 3 cards to each player. After dealing the first time, the dealer puts 4 cards on the table.

The players take turns playing a card from their hand and trying to sum exactly 15 adding the card played to any combination of cards in the table, if the player is able to do so he "wins" the cards adding up 15. If there are several combinations available, the player chooses which cards "wins". If the player takes all the cards in the table he scores a "Escoba" which is worth 1 point at the end of the game. If the player can't add up to 15 he leaves his card over the table and then the next player play a card.

After all cards are played, the dealer deals another 3 cards to each player and another round is played. Rounds are played until there are no cards left in the deck. At that time, the player "won" cards last, "win" the remaining cards on the table and scores are calculated.

Bonus points are awarded:

1 point for each "Escoba" 1 point for the player who "won" most cards 1 point for the player with most "Oros" (the golden coin suit) 1 point for the player with most sevens 1 point for the player with with the seven of "Oros"

In case of tie nobody scores the bonus point.

Special event: if when the dealer places the initial 4 cards on the table, they add up 15, the dealer "wins" all of them and scores a "Escoba".

The player with most points win. The game can be played through several hands adding the points from each hand to a determined total.
