Game Rules

This game consists of 32 cards, divided into 4 suits of 8 cards each, numbered 1 to 8. The suits are told apart by the colour of the background where the card's number appears: "yellow," "red," "green," and "blue," respectively.

Note: the card's text says 32 cards, but the front of the game box reads "Contiene 33 cartas" (contains 33 cards). This is transcribed as printed. The rules card does not describe a 33rd card.

Number of Players

2 to 5 players can play.

Object of the Game

To be the first to run out of cards in your hand.

How to Play

4 cards are dealt face down to each player. When there are two players, 7 cards are dealt.

The remaining stock is placed face down for drawing. The top card of the stock is turned over, leaving it aside on the table. The others are played on top of this card.

If the card is one of the four "fives," it is randomly placed back in the stock, and another is revealed.

The "hand" (mano, the first player) begins the game by placing a card that is paired with it, either in number or suit, on top of the card previously placed near the stock, also face up. For example, a card with a red background can be played on top of another card with a red background, 3 on 3, etc.

The four "fives" are "wild cards," and each of them can be played even if it does not match the number or suit of the last card played.

The player who places a "wild five" has the right to determine the suit or number to be followed by the next player.

If, when it's a player's turn, they don't have a card similar in suit or number to the one previously played and don't have a "joker five," they will draw from the stock until they get a suitable card to play. When the stock of cards is exhausted, the player "passes" if they can't play.

Regardless of the rules explained here, these cards can be used to play the popular game of quartets.
