What is Argentinian Truco?

Argentinian Truco is a popular game in South America. It is a simplified version of the game Truc, which is popular in Catalonia and Southern France. Each player is assigned three cards, which are used in tricks, and points are awarded for holding combinations of cards from the same suit. Extra points can be wagered on who has the best combination or who will win the tricks, and the bluffing, talking, and joking that goes with it is a significant aspect of the game. Truco is often played by four players in teams of four, but it can also be played by two or six players.
