Sinco

A kind of Lotto for Christmas time. Instead of numbers, the game uses a traditional deck of Neapolitan cards, 40 in all in the traditional Italian-Spanish suits of Clubs, Coins, Cups and Swords. Each player has a mat showing 25 cards making several combinations of 5 cards each. The scores go from the single central card to 5 cards combinations, or Sinco. The man on the box cover photo, is the designer himself, Emilio Salvatore. The other people are members of his family, daughters, wife and nephew in particular.
