The main objective of the game is to win 30 points. There are three ways of scoring points:
Flor, which is a hand of three cards of the same suit; If no one has Flor, points may be scored for Envido - a combination of two cards in a suit, or failing that, a single card;
In addition to Flor or Envido, points are scored for the Truco, which involves taking the majority of the three tricks, or the first trick if one trick is tied.
It is possible for a player who has Flor to pick his best two cards and bet on Envido instead of Flor, on the chance of getting more points. Bets on Flor or Envido are made during the first trick, while bets on Truco can be made at any time. If a player has no interest in the Flor or Envido can immediately bet on the Truco.
However, if another player wants to bet on the Flor or Envido, they will have to do so before answering the Truco bet.
Features:
- Online Multiplayer mode via Game Center.
- Up to three A.I. skill levels.

- Universal app. Runs natively on iPad, iPod and iPhone.

I lived in Argentina many years ago and played this card game a lot, but since I left, I haven't played. I had totally forgotten about this game until I saw it in the App Store. I love it!! The graphics are a lot better than many of the other card games in the App Store. I like how you can move the cards around to see what's behind them and they don't "snap" back into place once moved. I really like how it shows the rank of the cards (and how you can go mid-game and review the ranks). I do wish it explained the rules a little better and explained the envido point system, since I've completely forgotten. Also, it would be cool to have a stats board, to see how I'm doing compared to the computer. But overall, it's a great game. It's areally fun game, even for people who don't have ties to Argentina. :)
easily one of the best iphone card games ever

I'm from Argentina and I own an iPhone in the US... Truco is one of those things you miss the most when you live abroad. Luckily, I have a few friends from Argentina that live by me so every now and then we get together and play Truco at home. When I saw this app was released, I knew I had to give it a try. And WOW what an amazing job these guys have done. I've never written a review before but these guys deserve it. Excellent graphics, ingenious use of the touch screen... I loved the way the app greets you with a Tango clip and the Filete-themed screens (Filete is an art style that is related to Tango). Playing the game is a lot of fun - however, I'm looking forward to trying the multiplayer mode which I haven't tried yet. Odasoft, los felicito y muchisimas gracias!!!
The prettiest card game on the ipod...

This is a very inspiring game. It looks incredible, and it plays very well too. This should move things up a notch for the competition...make your cards large and beautiful!!! I am still trying to understand this game, but so far I love it. At first, I bought it not realizing that it was only compatible with the iphone. Now, after a couple of weeks (felt like a couple of years!) the update is out and I can finally play it!!! Great job, can't wait to see your other games!!!
Excellent app! Even better game!

This game is awesome. I had never heard of the game before so I had to read the instructions a bunch of times. Then I just got the hang of it by playing it again and again. I’ve never seen a card game so beautifully combine straight-ahead strategy with betting/bluffing. And the app itself is very well done. Beautiful graphics and easy to use!
