Ronda: goal and players

How to play: rules
- Two players, 40 cards: Ace to 7 and J, Q, K, which count as 10, 11 and 12 (no 8, 9 or 10). Three cards each and four on the table; new hands of three come out until the deck is used up. The dealer’s opponent starts.
- Play one card a turn. It takes the table card of the same rank and every card that follows it in order: 1–2–3–4–5–6–7–J–Q–K. A 6 on 1, 6, 7, J takes 6, 7, J. A card that takes nothing stays on the table.
- Bwahad (+1): play the same rank your opponent just played. Bkhamsa (+5): answer it with the third. Beshara (+10): the fourth. Maysa (+1): clear the table.
- The cards left at the end go to the last player who took. If the dealer’s last card is the King: +5 to the dealer; the Ace: +5 to the opponent.
- Each card you took is 1 point, plus bonuses. Most points wins; a tie plays another hand.

Tips and strategy
Use Ronda’s card order: Jack follows Seven, and numerical Eight, Nine and Ten are absent. Check the consecutive capture starting from a matching card before assuming you take only one card. When an opponent repeats your rank, consider the follow-up capture bonuses rather than treating the exchange as an ordinary take. The dealer’s last card can affect the score, so track who deals and which cards remain.

History & origins
Ronda is a Moroccan fishing game, described in print by 1908. It traditionally uses a Spanish-suited pack.
Capturing a matching rank can also sweep up consecutive cards, giving the game a different rhythm from other table-capture games.
Its terminology and combinations belong to Morocco’s card-playing culture. Regional habits continue alongside published rules, rather than one known inventor’s original edition.
