Welcome to the Chuchila Scoreboard App — a fun weekend project I built to track our scores while playing a classic card game with friends. This game is more than just cards — it’s what we do while hanging out, catching up on life, having a sip of beer, and talking about everything going on in the world.
Chuchila is a traditional card game we play using a standard 52-card deck. Each player is dealt 13 cards, and the objective is to create four valid groups (sets or sequences) from your hand.
- The player with the strongest groupings earns the most points in that round.
- It combines luck and strategy, and no two games feel the same.
- Each player is dealt 13 cards.
- Players aim to divide their cards into 4 valid groups (either runs or sets).
- Points are awarded based on the strength and validity of those groups.
- A round ends when players reveal their hands and score is updated.
- First player to reach 20 points wins!
This is our made up rules so, if you have 6 pairs you get 6 points. If you have four of a kind, you get 4 points except four ACES, that gives you 5 points. If you win all 4 round in one particular game, Thats SALAMI, and you get 5 points for that round. If all 4 of you wins each hand in a round, that is a BETTER for next round.
And, everytime these extra rules comes in, the immediate next round is called "The BETTER" Everything is same in BETTER, except you get 2 points instead of 1 for each win.
This web app lets you:
- Enter 4 player names
- Add their points after each round
- Track scores automatically
- Instantly declare a winner when someone reaches 20 points
- Reset and start again anytime
Just open the app, type in player names, enter scores per round, and hit "Submit Round". The app takes care of everything else — no pen and paper needed!
You can directly run this on your browser and start playing today.
This isn't just a game for us — it's a weekend ritual full of banter, beer, food, and memories.
Hope you enjoy playing Chuchila with your friends too! CHEERS
