Truc

A popular card game throughout Valencia, especially in the central counties. It is played with a Spanish deck with no kings, horses or jacks, generally with 22 cards between four people playing two-versus-two, each member receiving three cards. Cards are distributed according to an established order (normally the ace of spades, ace of clubs, seven of spades, seven of coins, three, seven, six, five and four) and each group adds one point when two pairs are achieved, winning the game when two 18-point hands are assembled.
