The same walkthrough the table opens with — you can replay it in the game at any time.

Welcome to Escoba

Escoba de 15: capture table cards that add up to exactly 15 with the card you play. Sweep the whole table for a bonus “escoba”.

The table

Four cards start face-up here. Figures are worth Sota = 8, Caballo = 9, Rey = 10; the rest are their number.

Capture to 15

Tap a card in your hand, then tap table cards until they sum to 15 with it — then press Capture. No match? Press Place to leave your card on the table.

Escoba!

Clear every card off the table with a capture and you score an escoba — worth a full point. Points also go for most cards, most oros, the 7 of oros and most sevens.

You're ready

Watch what you leave behind — don't set up the opponent's 15. Most points wins the round. Good luck!
