2–4 players40-card barajaSum to 15
Overview
Each player gets 3 cards and 4 are laid face-up at the opening deal. Summing values: 1–7 at face value, Sota 8, Caballo 9, Rey 10.
How to play
- Capture — Play a card from your hand so that it plus table cards totals exactly fifteen — capture them all.
- No capture — If you can't make 15, leave a card on the table.
- Score — When the cards run out, count the points of what you captured.
Scoring & winning
- Oros (gold) cards score as: Ace 10, 2–7 at face value, Sota 10, Caballo 11, Rey 12 — the gold suit is a 70-point pool. (Note these scoring values differ from the summing values used to reach 15.)
- Every non-gold card = 1 point (30 points total). Most points in the deal wins.
Strategy
Watch the Oros cards on the table — capturing them swings the score your way.
