ASSO Meaning and Definition

1. Asso is a noun that refers to an Italian card game played with a deck of cards known as the Tarot deck. It involves four players and is typically played in teams of two. The objective of Asso is to accumulate points by taking specific cards in tricks or by declaring certain combinations of cards known as "melds."

   In Asso, each player is dealt a hand of cards, and the player to the dealer's right leads the first card. The other players then follow suit if possible, or they can play a trump card if they don't have the suit led. The player who plays the highest-ranking card or the highest trump wins the trick and leads the next one.

   The cards in the Tarot deck have different point values, with the highest-ranking cards usually worth more points. In addition to winning tricks, players can also earn points through different combinations of cards, such as melding four of a kind or a sequence of cards from the same suit.

   The game continues until a pre-determined point limit is reached, and the team with the highest score at that point wins. Asso requires both strategic planning and skillful card play, making it an engaging and challenging game for those who enjoy traditional card games.
