Corsican Traditional

A MORRA
‘A Morra’ is a hand game, played by two players and dating back to the times of
ancient Rome and Greece. Face to face, and with one hand only, the two players in
turn announce a number, showing their fingers, whoever announces the sum of the
two hands, wins (from 2 to 10) – if the correct number is not announced the game
continues. Teams contribute to the winning of matches, and are composed of two or
three people, and a match is won when there are two winning sets. Twenty five
possibilities are concerned, where combinations enter. Depending on the region, there
can be variations within the rules, so, harmonizing comes into account when
championships take place – for there are championships too! to be noted however,
this game is not known all over the island, oddly enough there are regions where it
was never played.
A Scopa
Scopa means « broom" in Corsican.
The objective is to get a determined number of points, fixed before starting the
game. There must be played as many hands as necessary until some of the
players reaches that score.
