Sette e mezzo (Italian for "seven and a half") is an Italian card game similar to blackjack. It is traditionally played in Italy during Christmas holidays.

[edit] Overview

Sette e mezzo is played with a 40-card deck (card values from 1 to 7, and three face cards, with four suits). Face cards are worth half a point each, whereas cards from the ace to seven are worth their nominal value. The goal is reaching the highest possible score without exceeding 7½.
