Scarto is a three player trick-taking tarot card game from Piedmont, Italy.[1] It is a simple tarot game which can serve as an introduction to more complex tarot games. The name comes from the discarded cards that were exchanged with the stock, which is also the origin of the name for the Skat card game.
