Buraco in a nutshell

Played with 108 cards (two 52-card decks + 4 jokers) by two players, 11 cards each. Each turn: draw 2 cards, lay down any number of sets (3+ cards of the same rank), then discard 1. As soon as the stock pile runs out the deal ends immediately — your meld points minus your remaining hand points decide the winner.

Card values

Every card has a point value — it counts for your melds and against your leftover hand:

Card	Value
Joker	30
2	20
Ace (A)	15
Jack (J), Queen (Q), King (K)	10
3 through 10	Face value (3 = 3, 4 = 4, etc.)
