In this post, I’m sharing with you an Italian card game for Christmas: Sputo. I learned about this fun, easy, endlessly repeatable card game this summer from my Neapolitan/Apulian mother-in-law.
“We used to play for hours and had so much fun back in the sixties,” she said to convince us to compete in a small family tournament. I must admit she was absolutely right. The rules are easy, the fast pace is challenging and euphoria-boosting, and each match lasts a couple of minutes, leaving place to the next defier.
This is only a fragment. The full piece lives inside Accademia Sub Rosa.
A quieter space.
A deeper Italy.
A slower way of seeing
Not for everyone.
