The first deliverer is determined by the lowest card. The deck is carefully packed by any player, and each player draws one card, the one who pulls out the lowest card becomes the deliverer. The seniority of cards from a three to two, as it is specified above. If several players have pulled out the same cards, they draw one more card once more. After determining the handler, the deck is carefully shuffled, the top of the deck is dismantled at a rate of one third, then the sender takes the remaining two thirds and one at a time clockwise, starting with the player to the left of the handler, gives each player 11 cards. Then, in the center of the table, 11 cards (pozzetti) are put in two closed piles and the remaining deck is placed side by side in the open.

The goal of the game is to form sets of identical cards or sequences from successive cards of the same suit. Each set or sequence must contain at least three cards.

Set. It consists of three or more cards of the same value: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, B, D, K, T. It is allowed to use one deuce or joker in the set. For example, a set of four cards: ♠ 4- ♠ 4- ♣ 4- ♥ 2 or ♣ 10- ♠ 10- ♦ 10-Joker.

Sequence. Consists of three or more consecutive cards of the same suit, the order of the cards can be (T) -2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-V-D-K- (T). It is allowed to use one deuce or joker in the sequence. When composing a sequence, an ace must only be on one side of the sequence, either from the beginning of the sequence before the deuce, or at the end of the sequence after the king. Example sequence: ♥ 7- ♥ 8- ♥ 9- ♠ T- ♠ 2- ♠ 3- ♥ 2- ♠ 5- ♣ 9- ♣ 2- ♣ In-Joker- ♦ 5- ♦ ♦ 6.

A clean set or sequence of cards called Pulito, and dirty Sporco. A sequence of seven or more cards is called Burraco. Pure Burraco earns extra points for the team.

The first move in the draw of cards begins the player to the left of the handler. The actions of any player consist of two actions: taking the card and throwing the other card out of the hands.

In this case, the player on his turn can:

Add cards to existing combinations if they are combinations of this player;

Reset or open the combination at any time. Each player has his own field for resetting;

Each round must be completed by dumping cards into the stack.

2 stacks (pozzetti) serve for the following:

As a spare pile, if the main stack is finished, then any of these piles will be used for the game, if these piles are not there, the game will be considered finished;

To replenish the player's cards, when the player has run out of cards and there is one of these piles, it will be added to the player's hand (before or after the reset). It is worth noting that one stack of 11 cards for one team, and another stack for another team. That is, each of the teams can use one stack only once.

The round can end in one of three ways:

1. Closure.

The team took their stack of pozzetti cards;

The team formed Burraco;

Players of one team unite all the cards except one card from their hands and discard this last card, which can not be put anywhere.

2. There are two cards left in the deck. When a player takes the third last card from the deck, the round automatically ends at the end of the player's turn.

3. Stalemate. If the reset contains only one card and all four players decide to take the deck and discard another card. Players can simply exchange unwanted cards among themselves and if no one wants, then the situation comes to a standstill.

After the end of the round, players count the points.

Winner - counts points for card combinations, for bonus / penalty.

Loser - counts points for combinations of cards minus points for cards that are left on hand, plus bonus / penalty.

There are 3 types of positive bonuses.

Burraco Pulito (net) - 200 bonus points.

Burraco Sporco (dirty) - 100 bonus points.

When you exit the game - 100 bonus points.

The team that did not accept Pozzetti is a penalty minus 100 points.

A team of players that first will score 2000 or more points becomes the winner in the game.
