Truco is a popular card match that originated from Valencia and Balearic Islands in Spain and is played in various countries including Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Italy. The match uses a Spanish deck and can be played by two, four, or six participants. Each participant is dealt three cards from a subset of the deck. The match is played until one squad reaches 15/30 markers or more. Bidding is an exciting part of the match, and bluffing and deception are key strategies. Points can be earned through triumphning tricks (Truco), having the best combination of cards of the same suit (Envido), or having all three cards of the same suit (Flor). Players play in squads, and any triumph or loss affects their partner/s. Communication between partners is usually done through a standard set of gestures.
