The score is calculated based on the cards that each player has accumulated in his scoring pile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Elements of the game&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A deck of Spanish cards: 40 cards, composed by 4 suits of 10 cards each one (1 to 7, a Valet, a Horse and a King) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 scoring pile (one for each player) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 Hands (one for each player. Both hands have 3 cards that should be used during each round). &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The table: Contains some cards faced up that are used in combination with hands card to rise up. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How are cards accumulated?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cards can be added to the scoring pile (or raised) choosing some cards from the table and one from own hand. They must sum 15.&lt;br /&gt;For this it is necessary to consider that the Valet (Sota in Spanish) values 8, the Horse 9, the King 10, and the rest its value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;For example, if at the table we have a 3 and a 2, and the player have a king, it is possible to raised these three letters, since 3 + 2 + king (10) = 15&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this game, to raise, first of all it's necessary to mark chosen cards of the table (clicking on cards) and then choose the card in the own hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to make an Escoba (a broom)?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a player raises all the cards of the table (that is to say, the table is empty), he makes a Escoba. When the score is calculated, the Escobas are very important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How is the score calculated?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the deck is empty, the score of each player is calculated. Players score points based on the following categories:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Most Cards : The player with the most cards in their score pile gets one point &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Most Coins : The player with the most oro (coins) gets one point &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Most Sevens : The player with the most sevens gets one point &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Seven of Coins : The player with the seven of coins gets one point &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Escobas (Brooms): Players also get one additional point for each Escoba they have obtained. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How is Most Sevens calculated?&lt;/strong&gt;In order to calculate the points obtained by Most Sevens it is necessary to find out how many sevens have each player in their scoring pile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;For example, if some player has 3 of the four sevens, he wins the seventy. If both players have 2 sevens, wins the seventy the player with more six's, and so on…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ventanita.com.ar/en/2007/02/instructions-for-game-of-escoba-broom.html' title='Instructions for the game of the Escoba (Broom) of the 15'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6736117787485089737&amp;postID=7947696597025357043' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.ventanita.com.ar/en/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6736117787485089737/posts/default/7947696597025357043'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6736117787485089737/posts/default/7947696597025357043'/><author><name>Christian</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736117787485089737.post-8376987925225699515</id><published>2007-01-31T05:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-11T10:22:29.437-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Escoba del 15'/><title type='text'>Free game for Windows: Escoba del 15</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.ventanita.com.ar/uploaded_images/escoba_del_15-782010.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.ventanita.com.ar/uploaded_images/escoba_del_15-782010.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ventanita&lt;/strong&gt;, presents a Windows's version of the spanish card´s game "Escoba del 15"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Escoba (Broom) is a trick-taking card game for two players, originating in Spain.
