Lesson 5 · The Duck's Course
Envido comes first
Challenged with truco in the first trick, you can still call envido. Plus the falta envido, in the malas and the buenas.
Truco doesn't erase envido
If truco is called on you in the first trick, you can answer 'el envido está primero' (envido comes first) and call envido before answering the truco. The envido is settled, then the table goes back to the truco.
What to do
Truco is called on you in the first trick, you haven't played yet and you have 31 points. What do you do?
The falta envido
The game goes to 30: the first 15 points are the malas, the next 15 the buenas. A falta envido accepted with both teams in the malas: the winner takes the whole game. If anyone is already in the buenas, it's worth what the leading team needs to reach 30.
What it's worth
Your team has 8, theirs 12: both in the malas. Falta envido is accepted and you win it. How many points do you get?
Challenged in the first trick
The Duck is hand and calls truco before playing. You hold the 7 and 4 of coins and a 10 of cups. Answer the right way.
