Comment jouer à Buraco (Ouvert Sale)
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” pile). The remaining cards make up the draw deck.
Chaque joueur, à son tour, doit :
- Piocher une carte du talon.
- …Ou piocher toutes les cartes disponibles dans la zone centrale de défausse.
Pendant son tour, le joueur peut poser des cartes sur la table pour marquer des points pour son équipe.
- Il peut créer de nouvelles combinaisons de 3 cartes ou plus.
- Il peut également ajouter des cartes individuelles aux combinaisons de son équipe déjà posées sur la table.
Le tour se termine lorsque le joueur se défausse d’une carte face visible sur la zone de défausse. Si tu pioches une seule carte de la défausse, tu ne pourras pas la défausser pendant ce même tour.
À ton tour, tu devras décider si tu veux piocher une carte du talon ou toutes les cartes visibles de la zone de défausse pour faire tes combinaisons.
Jokers
Les deux (« pinellas ») et les jokers peuvent remplacer n'importe quelle autre carte dans une combinaison. Au total, il y en a 12, en comptant tous les deux et les jokers. Un seul joker ou « pinella » peut être utilisé par combinaison.
In a combination, there can be two twos, as long as one acts as a wild card and the other retains its real value.
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.
If the straight has been completed, the wild card cannot be replaced.
Par exemple : 2 2 3 5 … J Q K A
The stock (the “dead” pile)
When a player runs out of cards, they must take one of the “stocks” (11 cards each).
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” (run) is a combination of at least 7 cards. There are different types of runs:
- Canasta impure
- It contains a wild card.
- Canasta pure
- It does not contain a wild card.
- Canasta royale
- A clean run from ace to king (the ace is placed after the king).
In this game mode, it is not possible to make ace to ace straights.
When replacing a wild card, a dirty run can become a clean one and earn more points. But beware! The opposite can also happen.
Fermer - Un joueur n'a plus de cartes
Lorsque un joueur n’a plus de cartes en main (“bater”), plusieurs situations peuvent se produire :
Directe- The player combines their last card, picks up a stock and continues playing in the same turn.
Not available in “Open-Dirty” mode. - Indirecte
- The player discards their last card, picks up a stock and ends their turn.
- Fin de la manche
- The player can close the round when they run out of cards, their team has picked up the “stock” (if available), and they have a run.
Remember that if the game ends and the other team has more points, they will win the game!
