Briscola Heroes
Briscola with the powers
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 1.2: the twelve piazzas come alive with animated scenes, plus 20 achievements, titles and a clan board. Classic briscola with folklore powers — free.
The game you know. The heroes you don't.
Briscola Heroes is the classic Italian card game — 40 cards, four suits, every rule you know — with one twist: Aces, Threes and face cards are heroes of regional folklore. Pulcinella, the Befana, the Janara, Brigante Crocco: each has a unique power, fueled by the Energy you earn by winning tricks. If you can play briscola, you're already home.
TWENTY FOLKLORE HEROES
Pulcinella swaps a card with your opponent. The Befana peeks at their hand. The Janara cancels powers. Brigante Crocco steals extra points. From alpine legends to Giufà's Sicily, every face card is a character with a real folklore story to read in your collection.
THE ENERGY SYSTEM
Every power costs Energy, and Energy is earned by winning tricks. Out of Energy? Every card still plays as classic briscola: powers are the bonus, never the barrier.
TWELVE LIVING PIAZZAS
From Piazza San Marco to the Palio of Siena, every match is played in an animated Italian square — and each one bends the rules its own way. Unlock them all by leveling up.
REAL PLAYERS AND CLANS
Online matchmaking looks for a human opponent first; if none is available you play a clearly labeled game character, never one pretending to be human. Join a clan for friendly matches and four-player tables with signals to your partner, follow the clan board, and climb the Club rankings.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND TITLES
20 achievements to earn, titles to show under your name, and clan achievements to chase together.
EVERYTHING IS EARNED BY PLAYING
Cards that win tricks for you earn their frame, then Bronze and Silver. Progression is never for sale. The free version shows one ad at most every three matches, never during play; the Mecenate purchase removes ads forever and unlocks the whole Bottega.
PLAY INSTANTLY
No sign-up: an anonymous account is created automatically; optionally link Apple or Google to protect your progress. A guided five-trick tutorial teaches you everything.
Fully in English and Italian. Made with love for Italian tradition.

The piazzas come alive.
• Animated piazzas: all twelve Italian squares are now living scenes — skies, light and birds move while you play.
• A new victory scene for the woodcut deck: win the match and the last trick, and your suit's emblem comes to life.
• 20 achievements to earn, with titles to show under your name. The Home banner celebrates other players' biggest ones (you can hide yours in Settings).
• Clan board: an automatic chronicle of your clan's matches and quick phrases for your clanmates — plus 5 clan achievements.
• A new Energy bar on the cards. Prefer to play by memory? Hide it, and earn the "Blindfolded" achievement.
• A clearer table: every label is readable on any piazza, and the player whose turn it is lights up.
• Card names now sit neatly in their nameplate.
• Smoother matchmaking, sync and purchases.
