Biriba (Greek: Μπιρίμπα) is a Greek variant of rummy card game based on the Italian Pinnacola. It is played by two to six players, with two decks and 4 Jokers comprising 108 cards. If 6 players play, one more deck and two jokers more are added. Biriba can also be played by three players with or without partnership rules.
The Greek name may come from the Italian game Biribara, or Biribisso, or Biribi, even if this game is totally different (more similar to the roulette).
