Burako is a game popular in Argentina where you play with a set of numbered tiles. It is a multiplayer game for 2 or 4 players (two pairs). The objective is to score points by placing tiles on valid combinations. You can form sequences of three or more consecutive numbers of the same color, known as "escaleras". You can also combine sets of three or more tiles of the same number, regardless of color, known as "piernas". Canastas are combinations of at least seven tiles. You can form impure canastas using wild tiles. Canastas are pure when they have no wild cards added. Whoever has the most points wins.
