Play the Cuarenta card game at a garden table, choosing between matching ranks, adding numbered cards and leaving a deliberate drop. This two-player teaching version offers complete CPU matches to 40 points and 20 open-hand capture studies. It is free to play with no ads or download.
Tap a hand card, then the table cards forming its base. The two Capture arrow buttons cycle all legal bases, which also helps when the table is crowded. Capture commits the preview; Drop card never captures. Keys 1–5 select, arrows move focus, Enter or Space selects, P captures, D drops, A/B cycles captures, H hints, U or Ctrl+Z undoes, N starts the next deck and Escape clears selection. Score & rules and Help open separate dialogs.
An immediate match is not always the best plan. A sum can open a longer ascending capture, while a deliberate drop can prepare your next card. Watch the red outline: caida requires directly matching that exact previous drop, not merely collecting it in an addition or higher run.
The deck has four suits of A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, J, Q and K. Suits are cosmetic. Each player receives five cards, with four batches completing a deck. The non-dealer receives cards first and begins every batch. The table starts empty; after a completed deck, the dealer changes. A match can span several decks.
A matching base contains one table card of the same rank as your played card. An addition base contains at least two numbered cards summing to its value. A counts as 1, and only A through 7 participate in addition; J, Q and K cannot be added. After either base, take one copy of each consecutive higher rank. For example, playing 7 onto a legal base can collect J, then Q, then K. A missing rank stops the run. Duplicate ranks do not all disappear.
This profile allows a drop even when a capture is available. The separate Drop card button makes that decision explicit. The preview shows only what Capture would take. Selecting an incomplete or invalid sum does not spend a turn, and you can clear the base or cancel before committing. The computer and study solver follow the same optional-drop rule.
Directly matching the opponent's immediately previous dropped card earns 2 for caida. Clearing the table earns 2 for limpia, including on the final card of a deck. A player already on 38 receives no limpia points; caida still scores. From 36, a combined caida and limpia gives 4 and wins. Previous-drop eligibility resets when a new five-card batch is dealt.
Three equal ranks in a fresh hand automatically score 4 for ronda only when that player's score is below 30. Four equal ranks win the match immediately. If both hands contain four of a kind, the deck is void and Next deck redeals at unchanged scores with the same dealer. This two-player teaching adaptation uses the basic Pagat capture, count and 38-point framework. It omits the advanced remembered-ronda ten-point bonus, physical misdeal and forgotten-capture penalties, and partnership rules. Other tables differ; the rules here describe this implementation.
Unclaimed table cards belong to neither player. Capturing 20 cards earns 6 carton points; add one for each card above 20, then round the result up to an even number. A pile of 21 or 22 therefore earns 8. If both piles contain exactly 20, only the non-dealer receives 6. When neither reaches 20, the larger pile receives 2; tied piles award 2 to the non-dealer. Carton may take a player from 38 to a winning score in this profile.
Every study starts from a position reached through legal play. Both final hands are visible, and there is no remaining stock. Finish the cards while guaranteeing the displayed number of additional captures against every legal reply. Ordinary point totals do not stop these exercises, and table leftovers do not count. Later studies increase meaningful decision states and planning depth, from two-card endings to four-card plans. Optional drops and every legal capture base remain part of the search.
Normal CPU play and match advice use only that player's own hand and public information. Study hints may inspect the disclosed hands and preserve the capture target against all replies; a search limit is reported as unknown. Two successful hints are available per study, and Undo does not refund them. Undo restores your complete turn and the CPU reply, including the same next-deck deal. Confirmed Restart repeats the seed, while New match changes it. Only unlocks, best results and sound preferences save locally; unfinished matches restart after reload.
No. This table explicitly permits an optional drop, even when a legal match or sum exists. Use Drop card to make that choice.
A matching base uses one equal-rank card, and each higher continuation rank contributes one copy. You can cycle base alternatives before committing; duplicate continuation copies use a fixed representative.
No. Addition uses only A through 7. Face cards can be matched or collected in a higher consecutive run, with J directly following 7.
You can open Help or Score & rules, review the exact capture preview, use Undo and play 20 progressively harder open-hand studies. The full match keeps the computer's hand hidden.
This profile suppresses limpia when you already have 38 points. Caida and end-of-deck carton can still win the match. Some other Cuarenta versions apply different restrictions.
This version provides a computer opponent and solo studies. It has no remote rooms, cash stakes or in-game ads.
