A Spanish card game against the machine with the 40-card deck. The Jack is worth 8, the Knight 9 and the King 10; the rest are worth their number. On your turn, play one card from your hand. If it adds up to 15 with cards on the table, you take them all. Tap your card and then the table cards that add up to 15. If you can't (or don't want to) capture, tap your card again and it stays on the table. Clearing the table is an escoba: one point. At the end of each round there are points for most cards, most coins, the seven of coins and most sevens. The first to reach 6 points wins.
