saying any of: Flor: A simple announcement. If nothing more is said, the team having the best Flor scores 3 points for each Flor announced this way or by an accepted ContraFlor (see below). Con Flor me achico: A player announces that they have Flor, but surrenders on behalf of the team. The Flor bet is closed and the opponent team scores 3 points for their Flores and 1 for the player's surrender. ContraFlor: A player announces Flor and challenges the opponent to answer (see below). ContraFlor al resto: A player announces Flor and proposes to raise the bet to the number of points the leading team needs to win the game plus 3 for each Flor. After calling ContraFlor, the challenged team must answer: Con Flor quiero: the challenged team confirms that each Flor will be three points. Con Flor me achico: The same as above. ContraFlor al resto: See above. After ContraFlor al resto, the answers are: Con Flor quiero: Accepts raising the bet to the number of points the leading team needs to win plus 3 per each Flor. Con Flor me achico: See above. After the bet has been closed by saying con Flor quiero or con Flor me achico, players announce the Flores. The comparison between Flores is done as in Envido: the values of the three cards are added up plus 20 (Aces to 7 are worth the face value and Sotas, Knights and Kings, 0). When two Flores have the same suit, the one of that player playing earlier (counting anticlockwise) has precedence. If an earlier player announces a better Flor, it is usual to say son buenas, admitting defeat but without revealing information about their cards. At the end of the hand, the Flores must be shown. As with all bets in Truco, each Flor (or surrender) is made on behalf of the team. In Argentina, Truco is sometimes played without Flor, called Sin Flor, or Sin Jardinera (without the gardenmaid). Pedir Flor This is a penalty for those players that, having a Flor, do not announce it. If a player suspects that another is hiding a Flor, he/she can challenge this player by saying Pido Flor. In the case that the player had actually a Flor, the challenger team earns three points. But, if the challenged player shows at least two different cards, his/her team earns one point.
