Traditional games of Navarre

Mus (card game) is Navarre’s great card-playing favourite, played in social clubs, bars and at festivals, with tournaments drawing plenty of players. In the Ribera, close to Aragon, Guiñote (card game) also has deep roots, while Tute (card game) retains its place, often in tournaments played in sets.

Mus

With its signals, raises and all-in challenges, Mus is part of social life in Navarre. The word órdago (all-in challenge) comes from Basque, which says a lot about the area’s tradition. If you are just starting out, take a look at everything you need to know about Mus and the signals.

Guiñote in the Ribera

In Tudela and the surrounding area, Guiñote is played almost as much as it is in Aragon. It is proof that games know no borders.

Tournaments played in sets

Many tournaments are organised into sets, so that luck in a single game carries less weight. If you fancy setting something like this up, take a look at how to organise a tournament among friends. And do not miss the traditional Basque games played next door.
