Show fingers · Guess the total · Choose your mode
Since each player shows 0–5 fingers, the combined total ranges from 0 to 10. You must commit your guess before seeing your opponent's hand.
Read your opponent's tendencies and mix your own choices to stay unpredictable. If both or neither player guesses correctly, it's a draw — no point awarded.
Most players unconsciously bias toward showing 3–4 fingers (the middle of the range). Showing 0 or 1 is rarer and harder to predict. When guessing, factor in both your own fingers and your read on your opponent — you're predicting a sum, not just their hand.
Morra is one of the oldest hand games on record. Depictions of it appear in Ancient Egyptian tombs and ancient Greek and Roman art. It was widely played across the Roman Empire and remained popular for centuries in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and their former colonies in Latin America.
The name morra comes from Italian. In Italy (la morra), players traditionally shout their guess aloud as they throw — speed and volume are part of the drama. The game was banned in several Italian regions in the 19th century due to the disputes it caused. Today it survives as a lively tradition at festivals and family gatherings across the Mediterranean world.
