How to start a game

Three levels: Tavern Apprentice, Felt Fox and Salon Legend. The game is saved in your browser and carries on where it stopped if you reload the page.

Your pair decides with you

When truco is called on you, both partners vote on whether to accept. If you do not agree within ten seconds, the pair runs.

Vira and manilhas in plain sight

The table shows the vira and tells you which cards are the manilhas of the hand, and the scoreboard counts how far you are from 12.

Chips, ranking and five languages

Every game earns chips. With a Google account, your progress is saved on all your devices. The table speaks Spanish, Valencian, Portuguese, English and French.

The rules in a minute

Two pairs, three cards each and up to three rounds per hand. The essentials:

• It is played with the 40-card Spanish deck, without eights or nines. After the deal, the next card of the stock is turned face up: the vira.
• Manilhas: the four cards of the number after the vira beat all the others. The highest is the zap, the one of clubs.
• The pair that takes two rounds wins the hand.
• Truco: the hand becomes worth 3 and can go up to Six, Nine and Twelve.
• The game is to 12. A pair that reaches 11 plays the hand of eleven.
