more convenient. See below. Bonus and penalty points If a player manages to discard their paketo then the round ends and they get a bonus of 100 points. Everyone else is penalized by adding the points of the cards they have in hands. If a player has not progressed to the biribakia, being still in the first hand, they are penalized another 100 points (in the case that the round ends after a player has acquired a Biribaki, but before he or she has had a chance to play the hand, the total penalty is 100 points for the un-played hand, regardless of the point totals of the cards contained within). If the players run out of cards all points must be tallied. If either player has not received their respective biribakia, each player is penalized 100 points. The last player is the one to pick up the final card from the deck. Variations Three-handed Biriba The game is the same as for four players, with the following differences: The first biribaki consists of 18 cards, the second of 11. The one who "closes" first, and takes the first biribaki, has the other two players as a team against them for the hand. The two other players share equally their points. Six-handed Biriba The game is the same as for four players, three teams partners sitting opposite.
