Ronda is a much-loved Moroccan card game played with a 40-card Spanish-style deck. Play cards to capture matching cards and runs from the table, catch your rival's last card for a Darba, clear the table for a Missa and race the computer to the target score.
How to play
- Choose to play to 21 or 41 points.
- Each hand you get four cards; four cards start face up on the table.
- Play a card: if it matches a table card, take it plus any following ranks in a row.
- Darba (capture the card your rival just played) and Missa (clear the table) score 1 point each.
- A pair in hand (Ronda) scores 1, three of a kind (Tringa) scores 5. After the deck runs out, each card above 20 scores 1.
