Rojo o Negro (Red or Black) guide: rules, how to play and tips

What is it?

Rojo o Negro (Red or Black) is a card-guessing game that’s a favorite at get-togethers: before each card is flipped you have to guess something about it. Red or black? Higher or lower than the last card? Between the first two or outside them? Which suit? Every wrong guess adds a castigo, a penalty point, and whoever ends with the fewest wins. On WePlay castigos are just scoreboard points; if you like, your group can invent fun forfeits, such as singing a song or doing an impression.

Setup

• A standard 52-card deck is used, shuffled by the game.
• One person or a whole group can play, each on their own phone.
• The host chooses how many turns each person plays (3, 5 or 10) and whether a miss sends you back to step 1 or lets you keep going.

Rules

1. Step 1: guess whether the card will be Red (hearts or diamonds) or Black (clubs or spades).
2. Step 2: guess whether the next card will be Higher or Lower than the first.
3. Step 3: guess whether the third card falls Between the first two or Outside them.
4. Step 4: guess the suit of the fourth card: ♥, ♦, ♣ or ♠.
5. Every wrong prediction adds one castigo; a tie counts as wrong. After all turns, the player with the fewest castigos wins.

Tips and strategy

• For Higher or Lower, think about the midpoint: if the card is a 3, Higher is almost always right; if it is a Queen, go Lower.
• For Between or Outside, if the first two cards are far apart (say 2 and K), Between is the safe pick; if they are close, choose Outside.
• The suit is the hardest step, with only a one-in-four chance. Don’t be discouraged if you miss it.
• Keep track of what has been dealt: if many red cards are out, black becomes slightly more likely.
• At parties, agree beforehand what a castigo means: a truth question, a joke or a harmless challenge.
