Guiñote: the card game of Aragón explained
Guiñote is Aragón's beloved variant of tute: six cards, two phases, singing 20s and 40s, and village championships treated as a serious mind sport.
Guiñote is what people in Aragón mean when they say «playing cards»: a partnership trick-taking game of the tute family, first documented in an Aragonese dictionary of 1836, and treated locally as a mind sport with championships in every village fiesta. Four players in two pairs hold six cards each; while the stock lasts, anything goes — no obligation to follow suit — and once it runs out the game hardens into strict arrastre: follow suit, beat the trick if you can, trump if you can't. King-and-horse pairs are sung for 20 or 40 points, the last trick adds ten, and a pair confident of its count may stop the game and declare — counting wrong loses the hand.
Our complete guide — documented history, both phases, scoring and the five differences from tute that fool every newcomer — is available in Spanish: Reglas del guiñote. You will need a traditional 40-card Spanish deck from our playing cards collection.
