How to play
- A 40-card deck: ace, 2 to 7, jack, queen and king. Ace counts 1, jack 8, queen 9, king 10.
- Three cards each, four on the table. Play a card and take any table cards that make fifteen with it.
- If your card can make fifteen, it must. Otherwise it stays on the table.
- Clearing the table is an escoba: 1 point (not on the last card of the round).
- Round points: most cards, most diamonds (coins), the seven of diamonds, most sevens. First to 15 wins.
