• It is played with the 40-card Spanish deck, without eights or nines. The highest card is the ace of swords, el macho, followed by the ace of clubs, la hembra.
• The pair that takes two rounds wins the hand.
• Envido: a bet on your count, 20 plus two cards of the same suit (face cards are worth zero). It is called in the first round, before you play your first card.
• Truco: raises what the hand is worth: Truco (2), Retruco (3) and Vale cuatro (4).
• The game is to 30 points: fifteen bad and fifteen good. It is played without flor.
