Chinchón

About the game

A browser adaptation by Zarocer.

Zarocer’s Chinchón brings the Spanish deck to a calm, readable card table. Each turn asks a simple question: draw an unknown card from the deck or take the visible discard? Build combinations with at least six of your seven cards before your rival closes. Play a match to 100 points against three AI difficulties, or a single-round daily duel with the same deal for everyone. This clearly identified variant uses 40 cards without jokers, allows closing with one unmatched card worth no more than 5 points, and does not allow laying off cards onto the rival’s melds. Full rules are available in the game. Save a match in your browser, switch between eleven languages without losing your hand, and play using a mouse, keyboard or touch screen.

Controls

Draw one card from the deck or the visible discard pile. Build sets of three or four equal ranks, or runs of at least three cards in one suit. Select one card and press Discard. A card taken from the discard pile cannot be returned on the same turn. Once both players have completed a turn, discard and close with at least six melded cards and at most one unmatched card worth 5 or less. Face cards score 10. A fully melded closing hand scores −10; a seven-card run wins the match instantly. Exceeding 100 points loses a match. The lower round penalty wins the daily duel.
