What is Jalape-NO!

Jalape-NO!, first released as Pepper, is a trick-taking game in which you want to dodge the spiciness to end up with the lowest score possible.

The deck consists of 108 cards (102 number cards and 6 pepper cards), with cards being numbered 1-18 in six colors and with the 1s being peppers. Based on the player count, you use 4-6 colors of cards ranging from 1-9 to 1-18.

At the start of each round, you receive 12 cards in hand, and you must place any peppers on the table in front of you. The lead player in a trick plays any card from their hand or one of their peppers. Each other player must follow suit, if possible, except that you are not forced to play the matching pepper card, should you have it. (However, if you do have it, you cannot play a pepper of another color to this trick.) Whoever plays the highest card in the suit led wins the trick and leads the next trick. If you win a pepper in a trick, place it on the table in front of you; you can play this pepper on a future trick, whether to lead off the trick or to play it on a trick that's already in progress.

As soon as a player has no cards in hand, the round ends. All players add any cards in hand to the cards in front of them, whether peppers or cards claimed in tricks. Each pepper you have is worth 2 points, and each card in the same suit as a pepper you have is worth 1 point. After five rounds, the player with the lowest score wins.

Juego de bazas en el que el objetivo es no hacer bazas del color cuyo as posees. Hay que seguir el palo, pero no es necesario superar el número. La ronda termina cuando un jugador se queda sin cartas. Cuando eso sucede, los jugadores que tienen ases, suman puntos negativos: dos por el as, y uno por cada carta del mismo palo que el as. Rápido, sencillo y divertido. Se puede jugar incluso con una baraja normal. Solo necesitas una baraja con cuatro palos y que sean ordenables, por valor. Recomendable.

Preparación Según número de jugadores se usan X colores y rangos: Ej. con 4 jugadores: 4 colores, valores 1–12. Se reparten 12 cartas por jugador. Las cartas de 1 se colocan boca arriba frente a su dueño desde el inicio. ? Cómo se juega Must follow. Gana la baza quien juegue la carta más alta del color liderado. El ganador recoge las cartas: Los 1 se colocan boca arriba frente a él. El resto va en un mazo tapado personal. ? Puntuación (al final de cada ronda) Cada carta 1 = 2 puntos en contra. Cada carta en tu mazo del mismo color que un Ají que tengas = 1 punto en contra. Si no tienes 1, no
