Briscas is the iPhone version of La Brisca, or Briscole. I’ll let Wikipedia explain it:

Briscola (bixkla in Maltese,brìscula in Sicilian, brìšcula or brišc in Neapolitan, briškula in Croatian, la brisca in Spanish, bisca in Portuguese, briškola in Slovenian) is a Mediterranean trick-taking card game for two to six players, played with a standard Italian 40-card deck

It’s somewhat similar to American games like Hearts, Spades, Sheepshead, etc. If you’ve played any number of trick-taking games like these then you’ll be right at home in this iPhone version. The controls are extremely easy and consist of tapping the card you want to play. Talk about the ultimate one-button game.

But don’t let the simplistic controls fool you, this game is cool. The AI is good and it took me a little to get the strategy down. But once I did the game was fairly easy to beat on a regular basis. I’ve found that this game is perfect for almost anywhere since a game takes 2-4 minutes depending on how quickly you play.
