Chinchón is a matching card game played in Spain, Uruguay, Argentina, Cape Verde and other places.

It is a close variant of gin rummy,[1] with which it shares the same objective: making sets, groups or runs, of matching cards.

Each turn consists of a draw and a discard: A player who has enough combinations may decide to meld hand cards, laying them off onto the table, whereupon the round ends.

Each of the players scores penalty points equivalent to the sum of the face value of the unmatched cards left in the hand.

A player automatically wins the game if they manage to make a run of 7 cards, called chinchón.
