Scopa Sweep: capture the cards, build the score

Small sums, bigger decisions

Scopa Sweep builds its runs around capturing cards from a shared table. Play a matching value, or take a combination whose total equals your card: a six can capture a four and a two. Clearing the table produces a Scopa and raises the multiplier. Each choice changes the cards left for the rest of your hand.

Static Fire Games wraps that familiar arithmetic in a restaurant-themed roguelike. You face a rival, work toward score targets and try to assemble a useful combination of effects.

The rules become part of the build

Between rounds, buy Patrons that change scoring and rules. Card enhancements modify individual cards, while Renovations change the table’s rules. Completing objectives adds bonuses that carry forward within the current run. Boss tables introduce extra rules; the announced full game has eight tables followed by an endless mode.

For players who enjoy card puzzles and experimenting with scoring combinations, the appeal is how capture choices interact with those modifiers.

Try three tables before the planned launch

As checked on October 12, the free Steam demo is available for Windows and stops at the end of Table 3. Steam dates that demo to September 19; the full game remains unreleased, with October 26, 2026 listed as its planned launch. The developer also lists October 19–26 Steam Next Fest participation.

Both listings include English and Simplified Chinese interface and subtitle support. The official promotional screenshots show later tables beyond the demo’s limit. Start with the demo to see whether the card-capture loop suits you, and use the full-game page for release updates.

What a wiki here would cover

A Scopa Sweep wiki would list every Patron with its scoring effect, the card enhancements, the Renovations and the extra rule of each boss table. It would also work through the scoring: what a Scopa adds to the multiplier and which captures are worth more, with examples from the demo’s three tables. If you would use that, give the game a thumbs-up below: the votes tell us which game to cover next.
