Card Game

This is a scene in the lounge in our hostel.
Our guests form Poland(on the right) and from Australia(on the left) are holding cards.


At first I thought they were playing normal cards, but these cards were different.

On the package there are Spanish letters written so they seem to be Spanish cards.
However it was my first time to see these cards.


There are 4 patterns.
From the left, they are cups, coins, swords and batons.
They are totally different from normal cards.


The Spanish cards have 10 numbers, 1~7 and 10~12.
8 and 9 are missing.
This appears strange for me.


Those guests hardly knew about these Spanish cards.
They were referring to the Internet pages about the rule of this card game.


Actually these Spanish cards belong to A-yado.
I wonder who bought these cards which are not popular in Japan.
A guest may have left them behind.


By the way we have normal cards in the lounge.
Moreover we have Wii, a video game.
Even when the weather is bad, you will have a good time in the lounge.
