Buraco
Description
Experience an engaging classic in the form of Buraco, a 2-player card game rooted in the Rummy and Canasta family. The game revolves around assembling combinations of cards with matching rank or suit sequences. A unique feature is a bonus for groups of seven or more cards. Buraco is played with two French decks, each containing two jokers, totalling 108 cards. Game access is immediate on PC, smartphone or tablet with no registration required.
How to play
Starting from holding 11 cards, aim to create melds, which are either sets (cards of same value) or runs (sequential cards of the same suit). When you cannot play a card, discard one into the 'pot'. Reaching a seven-card meld scores bonus points. The player who discards all their cards first or has the highest score at game end wins.
Tips and Tricks
Strategize to maximize your melds. Prioritize creating seven-card combinations to earn bonus points. Use your jokers wisely as they can substitute any card in a set or run. Remember, discarding less useful cards could benefit your opponent.
