chinchón

¡Hoy es jueves jovial!     (Today is jovial Thursday!)

La fecha es el veintisiete (27) de enero del año dos mil veintidós. (The date is January 27, 2022.)

Juguemos al chinchón.     (Let’s play chinchón.)

Chinchón is a matching card game similar to gin rummy. However, in chinchón, Spanish-suited cards are used.

I was introduced to chinchón while visiting Argentina. The origin of the card game is Spain. 

Para jugar al chinchón necesitamos:     (To play chinchón, we need:)

por lo menos dos y hasta cuatro jugadores(at least 2 and up to 4 players)
una baraja española(a set of Spanish playing cards)
una mesa(a table)

Let’s deal! These are the rules for playing chinchón.

¡Que tengas un jueves jubiloso!     (May you have a joyous Thursday!)

L. A. Feliz
