La Pocha: Cartas Españolas

Do you like Pocha? The classic Spanish card game, also known as "la podrida," is now on your mobile: online games for 3 to 6 players with the 40-card Spanish deck and the traditional rules.

THE CLASSIC POCHA
Each round you receive between 1 and 10 cards. Announce how many tricks you're going to win and stick to it:
• If you're right: +10 points and +5 for each trick called.

• If you're wrong: -5 points for each trick you're short.

And the golden rule: the sum of the announced tricks can never match the number of tricks in the round, so someone always has to be wrong.

AUCTION AND MULTIPLIERS
In the middle of the game, trumps aren't dealt: it's auctioned. Players call out tricks blindly, and whoever calls out the most tricks chooses the trump suit, potentially defeating the player with a heavy trump suit. Furthermore, if the trump card is a diamond, the round is worth double, and if the trump card is the 5 of clubs, it's worth triple.

TABLES WITH VIRTUAL CHIPS
Choose a table with 100, 500, or 2,000 chips. All players place their bets in the pot, and the first-place player wins the entire amount.

CHIPS ARE NOT MONEY: These are virtual game chips; they have no monetary value, cannot be withdrawn, exchanged, or transferred to other players, and there are no real money prizes or any other type of prize. Pocha is a card game of skill, not a gambling site.

In addition, you don't need to spend anything to play: you start with 1,000 chips, receive 200 each day just for logging in, and can watch a video to earn 50 more (up to 10 videos per day). And if you fall below the minimum bet, the app gives you chips so you can keep playing: you're never out of the game.

PUBLIC RANKING
Global, monthly, and weekly rankings based on the chips you've EARNED playing quick games: watching videos or buying chips doesn't grant you a ranking, it only gives you the resources to play. The top 100 players and your position are displayed. Your username appears in the ranking and is visible to everyone: choose a username you can easily share and don't include any personal information.

APPEARANCE SHOP
Spend your chips on card backs, playmats, and avatar frames. Everything is purely decorative: no item changes the rules, the cards you're dealt, the turn order, or the score. There are no buying advantages or loot boxes here.

START PLAYING IN SECONDS
• Quick Game: Automatic matchmaking with other players; if not enough people join, bots will fill the table in 12 seconds.

• Private Table: Choose 3 to 6 players, share the 5-letter code, and play with your friends; any empty seats will be filled by bots.

• No registration required: Open the app and you're already playing. No email, no password, no waiting.

YOUR ACCOUNT, WHENEVER YOU WANT
Start without providing any information. If you enjoy the game, save your account with your email, Google, or Apple ID and you won't lose it when you switch phones: same tiles, same items, and same stats. And if you get tired of it, you can delete it entirely from the app. Only your username is visible at the table and on the leaderboard, never your real name.

FAIR PLAY GUARANTEED
All rules apply on the server: assisting, setting up, and bluffing are mandatory, and the app tells you which cards you can play each turn. Cheating is impossible, and no tile moves without the server's approval.

FAST-PACED GAMES
• 30-second countdown turns: no one drags on forever.

• If you lose your connection, a bot will play for you, and you can reconnect whenever you want. However, if you quit, you lose your bet and don't collect from the pot.

• Score summary after each round, final standings, and instant rematch.

FREE, WITH AN AD-FREE OPTION
Pocha is free to play and supported by ads. A one-time purchase (no subscription required) removes all ads permanently.

If you enjoy card games like tute, guiñote, brisca, chinchón, or escoba, Pocha is your next obsession: easy to learn, hard to master.

There's no chat: the only thing you see of other players is their username. Requires an internet connection. Available in Spanish.
