## What is Chinchón?

Chinchón, is a 2-player card game very popular in Spain, but also in Latin American countries such as Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia.

With this application you can play with other players or against the machine.

*** Objective of the game ***

The objective is to combine the cards in groups of 3 or more ladder cards of the same suit or in groups of the same number.

*** Game instructions ***

Each player receives 7 cards. The other cards are placed face down in a pile.

It is a turn based game. On each turn, the player first has to draw a card and then get rid of a card:
- There are two possibilities to draw a card: take a card from the covered pile or take the last card from the pile of discarded cards.
- There are two possibilities to get rid of a card: throw the card to the pile of discarded cards or close the game.

The game can only be closed if, at a minimum, there is only one unmatched card in the hand and it has a value of three or less.

When a player closes the game, all players expose their cards. If the players still have cards in their hands that they have not been able to group, they have the possibility of adding them to the groups or ladders of the others. If this player manages to group seven cards, no card can be added to the combinations of the others.

The rules of the multiplayer game are the same.

*** Count of points ***

The points obtained by each player is the sum of the value of the cards that he has not been able to match. The value of each letter is:
- King: 10 points
- Horse: 10 points
- Sota: 10 points
- Nine: 9 points
- Eight: 8 points
- Seven: 7 points
- Six: 6 points
- Five: 5 points
- Four: 4 points
- Three: 3 points
- Two: 2 points
- As: 1 points


The player who closes the game, if he closes with all the combined cards, gets -10 points.

### 2/5 — Love the game but… the ads

*2024-11-15*

I’m happy to pay for no ads but the button to do so doesn’t work. There are so many ads it takes away a lot of enjoyment.
