How to Play
Card Values
The goal is to have the lowest score possible. Jacks are worth 0 - the best cards you can hold.
| Card | Points | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Jack (Sota) | 0 pts | Always keep it! |
| Ace | 1 pt | Excellent |
| Two | 2 pts | Very good |
| Three | 3 pts | Good |
| Four | 4 pts | Acceptable |
| Five | 5 pts | Discard if possible |
| Six | 6 pts | Discard if possible |
| Seven | 7 pts | Dangerous — discard |
| Knight (Caballo) | 11 pts | Very dangerous |
| King (Rey) | 12 pts | Worst — get rid of it fast |
How a turn works
Every turn has two phases. The logic is simple — the strategic balance is not.
Draw a card
Draw from the deck (face-down) or from the discard pile (top card visible). You choose what information you play with.
Swap or discard
Swap the drawn card with one in your hand to improve your score, or discard it. You always end with exactly 4 cards.
Call SOTA?
If you think you have fewer points than your opponent, call SOTA. Both players get one more turn, then cards are revealed. Lowest score wins — but if you're wrong, you lose the round.
An opponent that genuinely challenges you
Choose the level that fits your pace. From learning mode to an AI that remembers your cards.
Easy
Makes deliberate mistakes. Calls SOTA late and conservatively. Ideal for learning the rules without pressure.
Intermediate
Evaluates hand average before drawing. Adjusts risk as the deck thins. A genuine challenge.
Advanced
Card memory system. Calls SOTA aggressively when losing. The most demanding opponent in the game.
