Variants
Variants and names Guiñote
Guiñote in pairs
The classic version and the one played at our tables: four players in two facing pairs, with signalling banned and your partner sitting right across from you.
Guiñote for 2 players
Head to head, six cards each and twenty tricks per hand. It's the best way to learn to read the forced-follow phase, since you alone are tracking the cards played.
Aragonese and Navarrese guiñote
In Aragón, Navarre and La Rioja it's still closely tied to bar games. In Aragón, Guiñarte campaigns for guiñote to be recognised as Intangible Cultural Heritage. The cantes, seven swap and 101 points are shared across regions; what changes is the scoring value and how the cotos are played.
