Chinchon: Tips, Tricks, Cheats

Chinchon

The beloved card game Chinchon makes its way to Android, bringing the excitement of this Gin Rummy-family classic directly to your fingertips! Played with a traditional Spanish deck of 40 or 48 cards (including eights and nines), this version ensures an authentic experience where each card retains its index value, not the common 10 points for face cards.

Objective: Link, Close, or Score Strategically

Your primary goal in Chinchon is twofold: either form a "Chinchon" – a magnificent seven-card straight flush – or skillfully manage your hand to avoid exceeding 100 points, or even aim to dip below -100 points. The game adds a thrilling twist with jokers: if you achieve a Chinchon with one joker, you subtract 50 points; with two wild cards, you subtract 25 points, offering powerful strategic advantages.

Intuitive Gameplay & Smart Features:

The game is designed for smooth and engaging play. Green lines visible next to each player's hand serve as a helpful reference when acquiring or discarding cards. When a game-closing opportunity arises, a clear "close game" button will appear, signaling your chance to end the round. Drawing a card from the deck is as simple as tapping it, while acquiring the face-up discard requires a quick drag past the green line.

To enhance organization, an optional blue square icon with three cards (activated by default in the options menu) arranges your hand from lowest to highest score, ensuring clarity and ease of play. Download Chinchon now and master this captivating card game of melds, runs, and strategic scoring!
