Cacheta
Nine cards, a wild rank, ten lives
Cacheta, also called Pife, is Brazil’s favourite rummy: two decks, nine cards each and no printed jokers — the turned card, the vira, makes the next rank of its colour wild. Meld every card and go out (bater), and the others lose a point or two. Everyone starts with ten, and the last player left wins.
