The top card of this pile is then turned face up and laid beside the stock to start the discard pile. Seven cards are dealt to each player, and the remaining cards of the pack are laid on the table face down to form the stock. The rules of the game are very similar to those of Gin Rummy, almost identical to Rumino. The game of Chinchón is played with a Spanish 40 or 48-card pack. In Uruguay, the game is called Conga or La Conga. The name is spelled Txintxon in Basque and in Cape Verdean Creole (the latter also features the alternate spellings txin-txon, tchintchom or tchintchon).
It is a close variant of gin rummy, with which it shares the same objective: making sets, groups or runs, of matching cards. Chinchón is a matching card game played in Spain, Uruguay, Argentina, Cape Verde and other places.
