exclusive game for playing in teams, where strategy and coordination are paramount without
talk.

Half past seven

The game consists of obtaining seven and a half points, or getting as close to it as possible. The cards
They are worth as many points as their face value, except for the face cards, which are worth half a point.

One of the players must act as the Bank. The bank deals one card face down to each
player and herself. Each player bets and, in turn, can request cards from the bank, with the
condition that only one of those remains covered, so that if all are uncovered,
the bank gives it covered, and if you keep one face down, the bank gives you another uncovered. It can be done

until receiving a letter that is not a figure. This means that with each of the figures it will be able to
play as if I were a different player, betting in each of the games in a way
independent.
When all the players have played, it is the bank's turn, which reveals its card and
play, in front of everyone, until to stand or to pass. Whoever has more points wins
that the bank, without going past seven thirty. He who has seven thirty, earns double his
betting and, in some places, it becomes banking. When points are equal, the one who always wins is the
bank.
This game is very similar to the one called Blackjack, very popular in Casinos, which is played
with a French deck and whose scores and rules are somewhat different.
Betting method: The most widespread form of betting, very common in the area of Piedrahita,
Salamanca, Cáceres... is:
The 'bank' will announce the amount of the bet before starting to deal the cards, so that
each player bets that amount against her.
The player who exceeds 7.5 will always pay the bank the amount of the bet.
The player who ties with the bank will pay the bank the amount of the bet.
The player who scores 7.5 will receive double the bet made by the bank.
When the bank hits 7.5, everyone will pay it double the bet, except for the player who
you have scored 7.5 which will pay 4 times the amount of the bet.
When the repaired letter is a half and the immediately following ones are halves, it may
play each one as a different bet against the house. Example: I am dealt a horse,

The donkeyThe main objective is to get four cards of the same number.
the ideal number of players is from 4 to 8.

Objective
The goal of the game is to get rid of all your cards as quickly as possible. Every time one of the
losing players are assigned a letter from the word donkey. The one who completes it first
word, will be the final loser of the game. The final winner will be the one who has not arrived at
complete the word when others do.

Techniques
There are several techniques to win at the donkey game. One of them, called feint, is to place the
hand in the center of the table, saying another word that is not donkey. If any player puts the
hand in the center, a letter will be assigned to it. On the other hand, if no one puts it, the letter will be assigned.
to the player who made the feint. Another technique would be the improperly placed hand. Everyone knows
that to win a game you must place your hand face down in the center of the table. If one of
the players put their hand facing up and their opponents place their hand in any way
a letter will be assigned to them, and if in any case they do not put their hand up, a letter will be assigned to the one who

Starting to play Mus

The cards and the stones (20) are placed in the center of the table.
The match is almost always played to 4 games of 40 points each.

El Mus is a sequence of 4 plays: Grande, Chica, Pares, and Juego, obtaining stones until

The game consists of 40 stones. To keep track of each pair's stones, one player goes
pointing until reaching 5 stones (Amarraco) and at that moment, passes the stones to the center and

Once the players are at the table with their partners facing them, the player who gives the
cards, this will be the player 'hand'.

Once the cards have been repaired, each player sees them and decides if it is beneficial for them to play with
either them or not.

The player starts 'hands'. If he sees that his cards are good, he can say 'no mus', which
means that the game begins. If the cards do not seem favorable to him, he can indicate 'mus', which

previous. If only one couple has pairs, the play moves to the Game.

The play of the Game is carried out the same as that of Pairs, with the 'hand' starting to say whether it has or not.

The Signs of Mus

The signals of Mus play a big role, as it is a communication with the partner for
to tell him, without words, one's own letters.

They can have their own signs. Everyone plays with the same signs and everyone risks it being
viewed by the opponent, hence the risk.

One must pay attention to the opponent, be in tune with the partner, and be ready not to be
seen. In addition, when someone sees a signal, the partner, if skilled, will know that the
