Chinchon by Victor Casas brings the traditional card game to life with a smooth interface and engaging gameplay, making it a must-try for fans of strategy and casual gaming alike.

The popular card game arrives on Android. Derived from the Gin Rummy family, this version is played with a Spanish deck of 40 or 48 cards (eights, nines). In both deck types, each card has the value of its index, not following the rule of 10 points per face card.

The objective is to form a Chinchón (7 cards in a straight flush) or not exceed 100 points or go below -100. In Chinchón with one wild card, 50 points are deducted. With two wild cards, 25 points are deducted.

When moving cards by acquiring or discarding, the green lines next to each player's hand need to be referenced. When there is an opportunity to close the game, a close game button will appear. To draw a card from the deck, just tap on the deck image; however, to acquire a face-up card, it is necessary to drag it past the green line.

To prevent cards from piling up, press a blue square icon with three stacked cards that organizes the cards from lowest to highest score. This icon is located in the options menu, and it is enabled by default.
