Ranks and levels: how to climb on Lascuarenta.es (The Forty)
By Adrián Muñoz
Every table counts. You have your own rank in each game, showing how you play against people of your level, and a player level that grows with you whatever you play.
Two ways to progress
Ranks are per game: you can be Gold in Tute and Wood in Mus, because they are different games and you learn them separately.
Your level is yours alone: it grows when you finish quick games in any game and never goes down.
Player level and Sotas
Finishing quick games gives you experience, and winning them a bit more. Each level takes a little more than the previous one.
Every time you level up you get 50 Sotas, which you can spend in the shop on decks, card backs and table cloths.

The 12 ranks
Everyone starts as Novice. From there, each rank asks for a little more skill than the last. We don't show scores, only the rank, so the table stays what matters.
- Novice
- Wood
- Iron
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Platinum
- Emerald
- Diamond
- Master
- Grandmaster
- Challenger
How to rank up
Only finished quick games count. Private rooms, games against the computer and tournaments don't change your rank.
Beating stronger rivals counts more than beating beginners; losing to someone much better barely costs anything.
In partnership games, the level of the whole pair is taken into account.
Fair matchmaking
When you look for a quick game we try to seat you with people of a similar rank. If it takes a while, the search widens little by little so you're never left without a table.
Fair play, as always
Ranks don't change the rules or give any advantage at the table: they simply reflect how you play.
You never lose Sotas by playing. Here we play for tradition and for the love of the game.
How long does it take to level up?
Each finished quick game gives 35 experience points, and if you win, 15 more: 50 in total.
Level 1 to 2 needs 50 points; each next level needs 25 more than the last.
One victory reaches level 2, as do two defeats. Each level up grants 50 Sotas.
Ranks are hidden, but winning against higher-ranked players raises your standing faster. Your first ten games determine your initial placement.

FAQ
Where can I see my rank and level?
In your stats, in your account menu and while looking for a table. Your avatar colour shows your best rank.
Can I drop a rank?
Yes, each game's rank goes up and down with your results. Your player level, on the other hand, never goes down.
Do games with friends count?
No. Private rooms are for relaxed games with your people and don't affect rank or give experience.
Do I lose Sotas if I lose a game?
No. Sotas are only spent when you buy something in the shop.
