What it is
The classic Spanish card game where you make 15, now with stamps that bend the rules. Tour the taverns of Spain and beat the bosses of tute, chinchón and mus.
Escoba, the classic Spanish card game where you make 15, turned into a road trip through the taverns of Spain.
Play a card from your hand that adds up to 15 with cards on the table, take them, and clear the table to shout «¡Escoba!». Every table asks for a target score: reach it and the road goes on; miss it and the trip is over, and the next one will be different.
STAMPS THAT BEND THE RULES
- Between tables, at the kiosk, you spend the reales you earn by playing (they can’t be bought with money).
- 60 stamps that change the game: the horse is worth 9 or 1, sweeps score ×2.5, the ace of coins gives +40…
- One-use tapas (tortilla, croquette, jamón…) and deck fixes: seal a card, remove the ones in your way, gild the one you like.
- An album to collect them all.
A ROAD TRIP ACROSS SPAIN
- Seven regions: La Mancha, Galicia, Castile, Aragon, Andalusia, Levante and the North, with their towns and their bars.
- Twelve regulars with their own style: the Schoolteacher hoards the sevens, the Trucker plays at full speed, old Anselmo never leaves you a sweep.
- Every region ends with a boss who plays by the rules of another Spanish card game: chinchón, julepe, tute, guiñote, brisca, truc and mus.
- Six difficulty levels and four starting suitcases: no two trips are alike.
THE DAILY CHALLENGE
The same deck and the same rule for everyone. Play three tables and see where you rank among players, bars and towns.
NO BETTING
Escobazo is a card game of skill: nothing is wagered and there is no real money and no real prizes. It’s free with ads; if you like, remove the ads or get decks (Toledana, Verbena and Neapolitan) and table cloths. No loot boxes.
Hand-drawn Spanish deck, the score written in chalk like at the bar, and six languages.
Frequently asked questions
How a table works
It is escoba: the sota (jack) is worth 8, the caballo (knight) 9 and the rey (king) 10. Tap a card in your hand: the game suggests the best capture (table cards that make 15 with it) and you can change it by tapping others. Press «Take». If it does not make 15, «Leave it on the table». Clear the table and it is an escoba: that play counts double.
Points and the count
Each 15 scores 15, +5 per oro (coin) and +10 per seven. When the deck runs out comes the count: most cards, most coins, the seven of coins and most sevens. Reach the table's target and you go on.
The kiosk
Between tables you spend the journey's reales on stamps (rules in your favour, up to 5), one-use tapas and deck tweaks (seal, remove or gild a card). You can sell stamps for half price and change the offer.
The bosses
Each region ends with a boss who plays by the rules of another classic card game: chinchón, julepe, tute, guiñote, brisca, truc or mus. Tap their name at the table to see the rules.
The daily challenge
Three tables with the same deck for everyone and an odd rule of the day. One try. Choose a nickname (and, if you like, your town and bar) to appear in the ranking. If you see an offensive name, tap the little flag to report it.
