Briscola Heroes
Briscola with the powers
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The first event arrives September 19: Autumn · San Gennaro. Win the tricks and claim the Mazzo del Tesoro — 40 cards in silver and gold, for a few days only.
Briscola Heroes is the classic Italian card game with a twist: Aces, Threes and face cards are heroes of regional folklore — Pulcinella, the Befana, the Janara, Brigante Crocco — each with a unique power fueled by the Energy you earn by winning tricks. Every rule you know is still underneath: if you can play briscola, you're already home.
• Online matches against real players (matchmaking looks for a human first; if none is available you play a clearly-labeled game character)
• A guided 5-trick tutorial on first launch
• 12 Italian piazzas, each bending the rules its own way, unlocked by leveling up
• Card Polish: cards that win tricks for you earn Bronze and Silver frames
• Full English and Italian interface (switch in Settings)
Play instantly, no sign-up: an anonymous account is created automatically; optionally link Apple or Google to protect your progress. The free version shows one ad at most every three matches, never during play; the Mecenate purchase removes them forever and unlocks the whole Bottega.
What we'd love you to test: online matchmaking (try it with a friend!), stability during matches, how clear the tutorial and the powers feel, and any text that looks wrong in either language.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The piazzas come alive. The background now breathes: a slow camera drift and light sweeping across, like sun between clouds.
Events are coming. Every event has its own atmosphere: the piazza dresses for the occasion and the veil of the moment falls — the dark of the Night, the snow of the Markets, Carnival confetti. First up: San Gennaro, from September 19.
Smoother matches. The trick always flies to the winner's pile, and the drawn card arrives in your hand with a gesture — even in the fastest online games.
Easier to read. System fonts throughout the interface.
Community. The Discord link is now in your profile: join, and be the first to hear about events and news.
Plus fixes and polish. Thanks to everyone who wrote to us from the beta — this version is made of your suggestions.
