¡Cuarenta!

Learning this game was trickier than a soggy biscuit!  At first.  Maybe it's because it's so different from any card game I've played, or maybe it's because we started playing with almost no knowledge of the rules.  We caught on gradually, however.  As we honed our skills and understanding of the game play, I decided that I didn't really like the game after all.  My group noticed a distinct advantage to being the dealing team each hand.  For the first two(ish) tricks of each hand, the cards laid by the non-dealing team would instantly get matched and cleared by the dealing team.  This allows the dealing team to gain a major lead in points.  Anyways, I prefer card games that require more strategic playing of specific cards.  I'd like to give it another go maybe.  I feel like playing a tournament right away wasn't good for me, I would have liked to practice a little more beforehand.  Forty!
