Truco Seu Pato

Truco Seu Pato is free online Truco Paulista (Brazilian truco), right in the browser: 2 vs 2 with your friends through a link, nothing to install and no sign-up for invited players. It is for people who want to play truco with their friends from afar and for anyone who wants to learn the game, bluffing included, in a 9-lesson course.

The rules on this page are for Truco Paulista, the Brazilian truco, with the Mineiro variant alongside: the manilha comes from the turned card (the vira) or is fixed, and there is no envido or flor. Argentine truco, with envido, is also played here: it has its own game type when you create a table and its own rules page.

Everybody starts out a duck.

Learn to play truco, bluffing included, and play 2 against 2 with your friends. An empty seat becomes a Duck.

Create the table, send the link on WhatsApp and start whenever you like: 1 to 4 humans, the rest are Ducks.

Chat is stickers and set phrases only, on purpose. Nobody types, nobody fights.
