HOW TO PLAY
1

Deal four cards to each player and form two teams of partners sitting opposite each other.

2

Players use secret hand signals to silently communicate hand strength to their partner across the table.

3

In turn, each player may discard some or all cards and draw replacements once both teams agree to the exchange, or a team may choose to skip the exchange.

4

Teams then bid confidently or fold on a series of categories: grande for high cards, chica for low cards, pares for matching pairs, and juego for a strong point total.

5

Whichever team wins each category collects points, betting more or less based on their partner's signaled hand.

6

The first team to reach the agreed target score, commonly 30 or 40 points, wins the match.
