Pilotta (in Greek Πιλόττα) is a trick-taking 32-card game derived from Belote.[1] It is played primarily in Cyprus, being very popular among the Cypriot population, especially the youngsters, who usually arrange “pilotta meetings” in places such as cafés and cafeterias. Its counterpart played in Greece is named Vida (in Greek βίδα).
