Due Vite is a traditional Italian card game that can be played with 2 players. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards, and the objective of the game is to be the first player to reach a total of 21 points or higher.
To start the game, the deck of cards is shuffled and each player is dealt 4 cards, face down. The remaining cards are placed in a stack in the center of the table, face down. The top card of the stack is then turned over to form the discard pile.
The value of the cards in Due Vite is a little different from other card games. In Due Vite, the cards are worth their face value, with face cards (Jack, Queen, King) being worth 10 points each, and Aces being worth either 1 point or 11 points, whichever is more advantageous to the player.
Each turn, the active player has the option to draw a card either from the deck or from the discard pile. If a player chooses to draw from the discard pile, they must use the card they draw to form a combination that adds up to 21 points or higher. The player then discards a card of their choice.
If a player draws from the deck, they can choose to keep the card or discard it. The player must then try to form a combination of cards that adds up to 21 points or higher. If a player successfully reaches 21 points or higher, they win the round and earn points based on the value of the cards in the combination.
If a player is unable to reach 21 points, they must subtract the total points of the cards in their hand from 21 and the difference is added to their score. For example, if a player has a total of 18 points in their hand, they would receive 3 points.
The game continues in this manner until one player reaches a total of 21 points or higher. The player who reaches 21 points first wins the game.
Due Vite is a fun and challenging card game that requires strategy and skill to win. It is a great game to play with a friend or family member, and can be enjoyed by players of all ages. So gather your cards and give Due Vite a try!
