Your phone is the dice cup. Free and unlimited: shake to roll the dice, peek at yours in secret and show them when someone calls dudo. For a barbecue or afternoon tea, with no accounts, no internet and no ads. Cacho, carioca and escoba, the Chilean table games, in one app: • Cacho, Chile's liar's dice: set up a table against bots with personality (careful, normal and bluffers) or play with friends by passing the phone. Real Chilean rules: aces are wild, dudo, calzo and the ronda obligada. • Full carioca, Chile's rummy: all eight contracts up to the escala real, jokers, laying down and discarding. It includes a scorecard for when you play with a real deck. • Escoba de 15 with the Spanish deck: make 15, sweep the table and fight for the golds, the sevens and the siete bello. El viaje: travel Chile from Arica to Punta Arenas. At every stop two locals and the host are waiting, each with their region's rule and forfeit. Your numbers: your daily streak, how often you win each game, your favourite bet and your best carioca. With Game Center, if you like, achievements and leaderboards to compare yourself with other players. Free: unlimited dice rolls, all three games at tables of up to three players and the first three stops of the trip.

The app is in Chilean Spanish. Made in Chile.
