About Buraco
Buraco is a card game that blends Rummy and Canasta. You build melds from the cards in your hand, working toward runs and sets while making the most of jokers. The aim is to be the first to exhaust your hand or to finish with the highest score, all playable directly in your browser with no download needed.
How to play Buraco
Arrange your cards into melds, grouping them strategically to form valid combinations. Use jokers to complete or extend your melds, since they act as adaptable stand-ins for missing cards. Pay special attention to melds of seven cards, since these earn a bonus. Play continues as you and your opponents build melds, with the round ending when someone empties their hand or scores are compared.

- Watch for chances to complete seven-card melds, since they carry a bonus.
