OK, @TheZooLady got a thought stuck in my head, and it led to the following #GameIdea seed based off of #EscoponeEscoba:

SETUP:
1. Remove all face cards from the deck. (This is based on the two app versions of #Scopa that I play which use the cards 1-10. Shuffle the remaining cards.
2. Deal a 5x5 grid of cards onto the table, face-up.
3. Set the remaining cards aside to form the stock.

PLAY:
1. Remove as many cards from the table as possible, going vertically or horizontally, in groups that add up to 15.
2. When all possible combinations of cards have been removed, I see 2 possible approaches to filling the blanks with the stock:
2a. Move all cards remaining in the grid down to the bottoms of their columns, then all the way left. Fill the remaining spaces, working up and right.
2b. Just fill each blank space with a card, then use the movement pattern from 2a to ensure the cards are as consolidated as possible.
3. Regardless how step 2 is achieved, return to step 1.

WINNING CONDITIONS:
If you *really* want to make the game hard, all cards must be removed from the grid. More forgiving ideas are to have no more than 11 cards remaining (a nod to the common score limit of Scopa) or 15 (a nod to the 15 required to remove a set from the board.
Thoughts welcome, but adding a poll as well here to gauge general reaction.

Playing Scopone again for the first time in ages. I recently saw a group of Spanish people playing it on a German train, which made me order a pack of those cards. My Italian friends who taught me the rules all those years ago, during an Interrail trip through eastern Europe, would be proud.

Ludante #Scopa (balailo en la itala) .... kartludo ludata per italiaj kartoj, iom similaj al hispana kartaroo... malsimile al la franca kartaro, en tiaj la glavo ŝajnas kiel glavoj
Playing #Scopa ... It needs a deck of Italian cards... similar to the Spanish deck.. growing up in #Mexico it was common to see a Spanish deck laying around, but no one ever teach me how to play a game with that deck... The deck instead of diamonds, hearts, clubs, and spades... has coins (i guess replacing the diamonds), actual clubs, actual swords, and cups, which would be somehow a replacement for hearts.

Jugando #Scopa, escoba en italiano, el único que conozco con baraja italiana, muy parecida a la #BarajaEspañola, excepto que la "sota, caballo y rey" son 8, 9 y 10, es decir no se salta ningún número.
