Truco.

Truco is a popular card game played in many places in the world

Each player receives three cards from a deck subsets consisting of numbers 1 to 7, the jack (in Spanish: Sota), in the amount of 9, the lady or the horse (in Spanish: Caballo), in the value of 8, and the king (in Spanish: Rey), in the value of 10.

The most common form of the game is the four -player version, where there are two teams of two players, who sit in front of each other. For six players, there are two teams of three players, with a second player in the same team.

In the blind truco, the 8s and 9s are also taken, playing with the numbers 1 to 7, plus the jack (in Spanish: Hombre to Pie or Spanish: Sota), the horse (in Spanish: Hombre to Homblalo) and the King (in Spanish: Rey or Spanish: Father).

You can play with 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 people, always divided into two teams. In 6 to 12 people modalities, the odd rounds are thrown into teams and even rounds are individually played, only players who are facing each other (so -called forehead matches). In this case, individual points tell the team as a whole. There is still one last modality, with three people, where players take turns, forming pairs against a player alone, Carancho. In this case, the points are counted individually (but the pair gets the points together). Carancho always receives the first letter and an extra letter. Of these, you can choose the top three and discard one; Hence the game follows normally.

The game is played until a team finishes the game with 2 games of 12 points. There are 24 points divided into two halves, the lower half called bad (in Spanish: bags), and the upper half called good (in Spanish: Buenas). The first team that makes 12 points zero the scoring and she will have a bad (in Spanish: bags), if she can do 12 points again she gets good (in Spanish: Buenas) and gets the fall, contrary to the other team also will have a bad (in Spanish: bags) and whoever beats the next one wins the fall.4.

The popular appeal of the game comes from the exciting betting system. Each type of punctuation can be betting to score more points for the team. Proposals can be accepted, rejected or increased. Blefe and deception are also fundamental to the game.
