Summary

Jak hrát Buraco

All players start with 11 cards each. Two piles of 11 cards are left aside on the table called the “stock” (in Portuguese “the dead” or “mortos”). The remaining cards make up the draw deck.

Každý hráč musí ve svém tahu:

1. Táhnout kartu z balíčku.
2. …Or pick up all the available cards from the discard pile in the middle of the table.

The player in turn may place cards or melds on the table to score points for their team.

• The player may create new combinations of 3 or more cards.
• They can also add single cards to the melds of their team already on the table.

The turn ends when the player discards a card face-up on the discard pile. If you draw a single card from the discard pile, you cannot discard it in the same turn.

Wild cards

Twos act as wild cards in any combination. There are 8 wild cards in total, counting all the twos. Only one wild card can be used per combination.

A combination can include two twos, as long as one acts as a wild card and the other keeps its natural rank.

When the “2” acts as a wild card in a combination, it can be replaced by the card it substitutes.

• If the 2 is of the same suit as the combination, it will move to its real place when replaced. For example, by adding a 3 to this straight 2 4 5, it will become 2 3 4 5.
• If it cannot take its real place, it will continue to function as a wild card on the far right or left of the combination.

The stock (the “dead” pile)

When a player runs out of cards, they must take one of the “stocks” (11 cards each). The following rules must be observed:

Direct close

The player combines their last card, picks up a stock and continues playing in the same turn.

Indirect close

The player discards their last card, picks up a stock and ends their turn.

Each pair can only use one stock during the round.

If there are no cards left in the draw pile, one of the “stocks” will replace it.

Canastas

A “canasta” or run is a combination of at least 7 cards. There are different types of runs:

Čistá postupka

It does not contain a wild card.

Špinavá postupka

It contains a wild card.

Královská postupka

A clean run from ace to king (the ace is placed after the king).

Eso na esovou postupku

A clean run from ace to ace.

Konec kola

A player can end the round when they run out of cards, their team has picked up the “side stock” (if available), and they have a clean run.

The round can also end if there are no cards left in the deck and all the side stocks have been used.

Teams may also lose points in the following cases:

• You will lose points for each card left in your hand.

• Picking up the “stock” and not using it will deduct 100 points.
