Sueca is a classic and entertaining point-trick card game, particularly popular within Portuguese culture.
This point-trick game is widely enjoyed in Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Macau, Mozambique, Nagasaki, and Goa. It is a four-player game where participants form two competing partnerships.
The goal in Sueca is for your team to capture the most tricks. It uses a 40-card deck, a standard 52-card deck stripped of the 8s, 9s, and 10s. Card ranking from highest to lowest is: Ace, 7, King (K), Jack (J), Queen (Q), 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Point values are: Ace (11 points), 7 (10 points, called "manilha"), King (4 points), Jack (3 points), Queen (2 points). All other cards are worth zero points.
Winning a trick grants your team the cumulative point value of the cards it contains. Remember, the highest card of the trump suit will always take the trick!
The two-player variant is known as Bisca, which is very similar to Sueca. Bisca is also available to play in this app.
