Continental

Description Continental

Continental is a card game which is played with two (or more) English decks and in which different combinations have to be made. It is similar to Rummy and Chinchón, amongst other games. A game of Continental is made up of seven hands or games. A different combination of trios or straights has to be made in each one, with it becoming increasingly more difficult each time. The game is unique in that the combination for each hand is fixed and you can take cards from the discard pile out of turn. The aim is to have lowest number of points at the end of the game. In order to achieve this you must combine the cards as established for each game, then reveal them – the cards in your hand, combined or not, are the ones that are counted.
