The Game Set
Our set includes a card deck and playing tablets.
56 playing cards and 14 player's tablets, card deck images, and names overlap with the playing tablets.
You can play La Loteria Crypto with a minimum of 2 players and a maximum of 14 with our game set; you can also combine playing tablets for larger group play.
Game Play
Before beginning, players agree to the game's contribution amount $$ (Ante), the winning format, and any optional side bets.
Chosen at random, one player acts as a dealer pulling a card from the bottom of the deck revealing and calling out the playing card image/name to the group. (Note: The dealer also has the option to play)
If the announced card matches the player's tablet, they place a marker on the image. The marker can be a bean, coin, token, or pebble. (Personally, we like to use pennies)
How you WIN!
These are the most common ways of winning, however, it's a loose rule and some may have an alternative way of winning, and that is totally fine, having fun is all that matters.
Basic winning patterns include filling tablet spaces vertically, horizontally, diagonally, or completely.
The first person to fill the agreed-upon pattern will shout out "BUENAS" or "LOTERIA" the prize is the pooled amount collected at the beginning of the game awarded to the winner.
This may or may not be the end of the game, some will have a side bet post pattern winner.
We provide a side bet block on the player's tablet for such scenarios.
Side bet options are up to the group and add an additional opportunity for players to win some $$$
Lastly
Have fun!
