Burraco

The objective of Burraco is to create groups or sequences of 7 cards.

Burraco is a rummy-like card game played in Italy for 2 or 4 players (in teams of two). It's popular in Balkan countries, such as Greece, Croatia, and Serbia.

Meld cards in sets and sequences. You can make clean (no jokers or twos', both are wild cards) and dirty (with a joker known as "jolly" in Italian; or a wild card, which is a 2, known as "pinelle") Burracos by melding at least seven cards. Semi-clean ("semipulito") Burracos are also allowed, consisting of eight cards or more, containing a sequence of seven consecutive natural cards and a wild card or at least a set of seven cards with a wild card. But remember, a clean Burraco is worth more points than a dirty one! Use your "pozzetto" if you don't want to lose points! The player that goes out gets more points!

The values of the cards from highest to lowest, in points, are as follows: joker (30); 2 (20); ace (15); K, Q, J, 10, 9, and 8 (each is worth 10 points); 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3 (each is worth 5 points).
