About the game

What is Mus

This is a Spanish card game born in Basque Country. The first reference about this game goes back to 1745, when Don Manuel de Larramendi, philologist and Jesuit basque, quoted it in the trilingual dictionary (Basque-Spanish-Latin).

It is played by two opposing pairs of players with the Spanish deck, which is a deck of 40 cards without eights or nines and no jokers. Usually all 4 "3" cards count as kings and all four "2" cards count as aces. It has a variety of different rules in the different regions of Spain.

In every round of the game Mus (discard) is either agreed or stopped. Then, four bets are made on the same hand of cards:

* Grande (Biggest): playing for the highest combination of cards; handiak (big ones) in Basque.

[b]Partidas jugadas[/b] (7/10) Más de 500 partidas jugadas. Juego de cartas clásico con apuestas y faroles, con alto grado de azar. Requiere un mínimo compenetración con el compañero para jugar bien.

Me refiero a todos los juegos con Baraja española. Por eso le pongo un 9, por su versatilidad y amplio abanico de posibilidades. De todos los juegos escojo el Mus por motivos obvios, es el que mas me gusta y originario del Pais Vasco. Tengo una baraja muy clasica y particular con personalidades de la historia de Euskal herria

Baraja española. Un juego que todo el mundo debe probar con amigos.. Faroleo puro y apuestas. Posiblemente el mejor juego de baraja española, con la pocha y tute subastado.

Juego tradicional de cartas, baraja española. Se juega por parejas. En cada ronda se evalúa la mayor, la chica, pares y juego. Todo un clásico. Junto con el parchís, la brisca y alguno más, lo más jugado en españa, con diferencia. :)
