Some serious card playing has been going on at the newly renovated Liberty style Hotel Villa Moorings in Barga Giardino. The hotel, which should be opened to the public in the next few weeks has been playing host to the Associazione Burraco Comune di Barga.
The Burraco players have been moving around the city looking for a permanent place to play their cards – they have played outdoors in 2005 and down at the Barga Swimmming Pool during 2004, but now it looks as if they have finally found their permanent home
Burraco, also sometimes spelt Buracco or Buraco, is a game for four players in fixed partnerships in which the aim is to lay down combinations: groups of cards of equal rank and sequences of cards in a suit, ace ranking high. There is a bonus for combinations of seven cards or more. Burraco is played with a double pack of 108 cards, incuding four jokers; the jokers and twos are wild.
