Am [naipe individual] (playing) cardBARAJA ESPAÑOLAThe Spanish deck of playing cards is markedly different from that used in the United States and the rest of Europe (which is known as the “baraja francesa”, or “French deck”, in Spain). The Spanish deck is made up of four suits: “oros” (gold coins), “copas” (gold cups), “espadas” (swords) and “bastos” (clubs). There are no cards numbered eight or nine. The “sota”, or jack, is counted as ten, followed by the “caballo” (a knight on horseback) and the “rey” (king). Among the most common games played with these cards are “la brisca”, “el tute” and “el mus”, but there are many others.* * *f deck of cards;jugar con dos barajas fig not play straight;se rompe la baraja fig the whole deal’s off* * *baraja nf: deck of cards* * *baraja n (de naipes) pack of cards -
