The traditional Lotera card deck is composed of a set of 54 different cards, each with a different picture.

Long A Staple Of Mexican Culture, Loteria Is Making A Fashion Statement. In the U.S., Loteria is often called Mexican Bingo. And its imagery now pops up on clothing and accessories, even if those who wear it don't know the card game.

The winner is the first player that shouts "Buena!" or "Lotera!" right after completing a tabla or a previous agreed pattern, similar to bingo: row, column, diagonal, four corners, or unique to this game, or four in a square (a pozo')'.

The point of the game is to be the first to fill your card and shout out "buenas" or "lotera" to declare your winning victory!
