We need to expand the Envido section!!! --Neigel von Teighen 16:44, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What about the Brazilian version of Truco, which is tooooo popular and so different from argentinian one? I can explain how truco works in Brazil, and someone who dominates English could write it, in order to expand this article. Just email me, gabrielquinteiro@gmail.com

You can just post the information here. You can use Portuguese, as I am fluent in both languages. --Sn0wflake 00:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just have in mind that Argentine Truco (to my inderstanding) is far more popular than the Brazilian one, and an Icon of the Argentine Culture. (google hits 1,000,000 v 57,000 ) Mariano(t/c) 08:31, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And why does that stop us from creating two separete sections on the same article? --Sn0wflake 16:05, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I just created a subsection on brazilian truco. Make any changes if you deem necessary.

Absolutelly nothing. I just said we should have it in mind, specially if we are to create 2 separate articles. Mariano(t/c) 08:05, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Interwiki

I changed the es: link to es:Truco (juego de naipes) which I hope is appropriate. (Presently it is just a stub that directs the user to es:Truc) The contents of the es:Truco (Argentina) page were apparently found to be a copyright infringement. - Kymacpherson 18:45, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

could somebody please Translate the spanish card names to english, i was recently taught this game and i am trying to undertand a bit better, but i'm not sure what some things mean108.3.213.112 (talk) 22:59, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bold textThe brazilian version has differnt card rankings and only played in 4's

"Truco" is actually a name for two different card games: the argentinean version and the brazilian version. They both have the same name, but they are distinct games. So it would be nice having two articles, with a disambiguation page.

Truco is a popular trick-taking card game played in the Río de la Plata area.

Is it played just in the Río de la plata area?, in all country you can play truco!. --Vokoder 21:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can play it everywhere, but it is originally from Río de la Plata area. --Neigel von Teighen 09:37, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to the es:Wikipedia, Truco was originated in Valencia and Balearic Islands but is very popular in South America (specially: Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil). --Vokoder 02:34, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, Truco is an elaborated version of Truc. You're right when saying that Truc is valencian (also catalonian), but Truco is orginally from Río de la Plata. For more information, look at: here for Truco and here for Truc (also called Truque). Yours, --Neigel von Teighen 10:38, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that Truco was a version of the Spanish Truc played in South America, but it's originally from Rio de la Plata area and uses Spanish cards also!. It would have to use Argentine cards!

I don't understand jajaja. --Vokoder 20:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added some details about the game. I also corrected some things that were, in my experience, wrong. However, since the game is mostly taught by oral tradition, it is possible that there are many subsets of rules. Since these corrections are drawn from my experience, I could not quote any text where that information can be found. I hope that is okay. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Canonicus (talk • contribs) 23:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Spanish Deck?

The article says that the game uses a Spanish deck, from which the 8's and 9's have been removed. I didn't realize a Spanish deck HAD 8's and 9's to remove. ;) Should that be changed? Vince In Milan 23:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My "Vitoria" deck has 8's and 9's , but it is surely a modern version. I haven't ever seen another deck like mine in my life... I would wait a bit if someone comes around with a different opinion and, if not, change it. --Neigel von Teighen | _{help with arbs?} 10:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are 50 and 40 cards versions of the Spanish deck. The most numerous version including 8s and 9s, and two jokers (comodines). --Mariano(t/c) 16:50, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Valencian and Balear Truc

You don't mention the origin of the game, wich is the Balearic Islands and Valencia, where there is still played, and very popular, also it's named truc, which should be the name of the article. I can explain how it works if you want to expand the article. My mail blackprotoss @ gmail.com. I speak better spanish or catalan than english, but I can try. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.38.60.224 (talk) 03:41, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BraSilian Truco

Truco is one of our national card games together with Buraco, the more elaborate variant of Canasta. This article has been marvelously written by one who really knows about the game. It precisey describes the many different versions played throughout Brazil.

I just can't undersand why this article is being under discussion for a merge with something that doesn't even exit. The artile is mainly about the game played in Brazil. Why not then a separate article called Truco Argentina ? It's indeed an integral part of Argentina's culture, and I am sure that historical information about the game will be soon added from both countries.

As for the article Truc, it will be soon created separately from this article, due to the amount of information available. Any Reference, Source, Link or information provided for this article will be greatly appreciated. Krenakarore (talk) 18:24, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perico and perica

Perico and Perica are the 11 and 10 of the open card (vira) for the current round. Someone else mentioned the following: Caballo of clubs (11), in some regions called Perico, worth 30 points,^[1] Sota of coins (10), in some regions called Perica, worth 29 points.^[2] How should we sort this out? Hamsterlopithecus (talk) 03:06, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First, I've got a name. Second, if you'll find any other referenced information, then you'll may contest Parlett and McLeod's. Krenakarore ^TK 10:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can discuss the subject on the talk page yes, but you shouldn't remove the references from the article just because you disagree on them. Call for a third opinion, ask for advice from an administrator or whatever, but don't remove referenced material from the article before a consensus. Listen, I won't go back to this again !
