Cuarenta ("forty") is Ecuador's favorite card game, now on your phone. Toss, capture and pounce on your rival's card: score a caída, clear the table with a limpia, count your cards and reach 40 first. Play solo against characters from around the world, with family on a single phone, or with friends over local Wi-Fi, even without internet.
THE REAL CUARENTA, WITH OFFICIAL RULES
Default rules from the APDP rulebook of Quito: caída, limpia, ronda, cartón, falla and the 30 and 38 point locks.
Configurable variants to play the way your family does: ronda points, caída plus limpia, four of a kind, falla, and one or three chicas.
Capture by matching, by adding up and in sequences; the table highlights what each card can take.
18 RIVALS FROM 16 COUNTRIES
Characters from Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Spain, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Venezuela.
Three levels: easy to learn, medium that gives nothing away, and hard that counts every card played.
Every rival has a personality and reacts to your caídas and limpias.
SOLO, IN PAIRS OR WITH FAMILY
1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 with a computer partner.
Pass the phone: two players on one phone, without seeing each other's hand.
Local network rooms: create a room, share the QR code and friends join from their phones. The game runs over your Wi-Fi, no internet needed.
