The card game of Truco, the venezuelan version.

The objective is to be the first to reach a certain number of points. Truco Venezolano is played with a deck of 40 Spanish cards (without eights, nines, or jokers). It's a multiplayer game for 2 or 4 players in teams of 2.

For each round, each player gets three cards dealt. The turned-over card is called "Vira". The player that throws the highest card wins the hand, and the best of three hands wins the round. Their score depends on the points given by the plays they agreed on.

Value of the cards and their names (from lowest to highest value):

• Common: 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3.

• “Matas”: 7 of gold, 7 of swords, 1 of clubs, 1 of sword.

• Pieces (“piezas”) or cards of the suit (“pinta”) of the "vira": 10 of the suit of the "vira" (“Perica”), 11 of the suit of the "vira" (“Perico”).

• Values of the cards for the "flor" or "envido": 11 of the "vira" is worth 30 points. 10 of the "vira" is worth 29 points. The rest of the cards are worth what their number indicates, except 10, 11, and 12, which are worth 0. If the "vira" is a "pieza" (10 or 11), the 12 of that suit takes the value of the "pieza" that is found on the "vira".

This game has many other rules, but that's what makes it challenging and fun to play!
