The rules in a minute
Three to six players, each for themselves, with seven cards. The aim is to meld them so you are left with as few points as possible. The essentials:
- It is played with the 48-card Spanish deck, with eights and nines. With five or six players, two decks are used.
- On your turn you draw a card, from the stock or the discard pile, and discard another.
- Melds: three or more cards of the same number, or three or more consecutive cards of the same suit.
- Closing: when you discard you can close the hand if your unmatched cards add up to 5 points or less. Each unmatched card counts its number: the jack 10, the knight 11 and the king 12.
- Whoever goes over 70 points is eliminated. The last player still in the game wins, or whoever closes with Chinchón: seven consecutive cards of the same suit.
Read the full rules of Chinchón: how to close, when you take off 10 points, how opponents lay off cards and how rejoining works.
