"EL CINQUILLO", Spanish board game

CINQUILLO
In this game, you need to have special Spanish game cards or you can use any kind of normal game cards. Spanish cards have four suits: “bastos, oros, espadas, copas” (clubs, gold, spade , glass). It suit has 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, jack, horse, king.

The game can be played with four to six players. Today, five students, that is five players, play the game.

Firstly, after shuffle, the cards are delivered to the players one by one. Each player has the same number of cards. So, if you have five players, each player gets eight cards.
The player next to the one who has delivered the cards is the first one to play.

The first player is supposed to put a “5” card of any kind on the table, of course, if he has one. If no, he just says “pass” and it's the next one's turn, who is expected to come up with a “5” again.

When there is a “5” on the table, the next player has to put a “4” or a “6” of the same suit or a “5” of another suit of cards.
A player cannot pass if he has a corresponding card for any of the sets on the table. That is, no lies!

The aim of the game, which is clear till now, is to finish all of your cards before all other players.

It is smart to keep the best cards, which, in this case, are commonly “5” cards, to prevent other players to finish up their cards before you.

This game can also be played with small amounts of bets for adult players.
