Briscola Heroes

The game you know. The heroes you don't. Briscola Heroes is the classic Italian card game — 40 cards, four suits, every rule you know — with one twist: Aces, Threes and face cards are heroes of regional folklore. Pulcinella, the Befana, the Janara, Brigante Crocco: each has a unique power, fueled by the Energy you earn by winning tricks. If you can play briscola, you're already home. TWENTY FOLKLORE HEROES Pulcinella swaps a card with your opponent. The Befana peeks at their hand. The Janara cancels powers. Brigante Crocco steals extra points. From alpine legends to Giufà's Sicily, every face card is a character with a real folklore story to read in your collection. THE ENERGY SYSTEM Every power costs Energy, and Energy is earned by winning tricks. Out of Energy? Every card still plays as classic briscola: powers are the bonus, never the barrier. TWELVE LIVING PIAZZAS From Piazza San Marco to the Palio of Siena, every match is played in an animated Italian square — and each one bends the rules its own way. Unlock them all by leveling up.
