Conga
Chinchón’s cousin with 40 cards
Conga is how Uruguay plays Chinchón: the Spanish-style 40-card pack — ace to seven, then jack, queen and king, which count 8, 9 and 10 — and no jokers at all. Keep your melds in your hand, cut when you can and stay below 100 points; a chinchón still wins the game outright.

How to play
- 1
Conga: 7 cards each. Meld them all in runs (one suit) and sets, then cut. Over 100 points is out; the last player in wins.
- 2
40 cards: A–7, J, Q, K. J Q K follow the 7 in runs and count 8, 9 and 10. No jokers.
- 3
Draw from the stock or take the top of the pile, then discard. Your melds stay in your hand until you cut.
- 4
Cut with your discard when every other card is melded (you score −10) or when one card worth 3 or less is left (it is your score). Nobody cuts in the first round.
- 5
Chinchón: all 7 cards in a row of one suit, no joker — it wins the game at once.
