  It's back! APERITIVO & CARTE 
  THE ITALIAN WAY 
  
  

  Join us on Friday, January 31st, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, for a fun evening of playing the traditional Italian card game scopone scientifico while enjoying an authentic Italian aperitivo (aperitif).

  NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY since Italian natives, Luisa and Ileana, will teach you all you need to know in English. However, if you are already a PRO, feel free to show off your skills and join in the fun as well!

  Scopone scientifico is a variant of scopa, a simple card game that many Italians, including our facilitators, grew up playing in Italy with their grandparents.   

  This event is open to all ICC members and non-members. Both individual players and pairs are welcome.  

  Once you have signed up, the rules of the game will be emailed to you to review.
  
  
  
  

  Per chiunque abbia voglia di trascorrere una serata divertente e giocare al tradizionale Scopone scientifico, il tutto accompagnato da un aperitivo italiano.

  Il torneo è aperto a tutti i soci dell’ICC e ai non soci. Il gioco e le regole saranno spiegate in inglese. Non è richiesta alcuna conoscenza del gioco; se sei un campione, è l’occasione per mostrare la tua bravura. Lo scopone è un gioco a coppie semplice, divertente ed interessante. Se non hai un partner, te ne verrà assegnato uno la sera stessa.
