Definitions tagged baraja in the street dictionary.

chancho

A popular Argentine card game for three or more players. The goal is to collect four cards of the same rank by passing cards to the left, right, or center as directed by the dealer. The first person to get four of a kind slams their hand in the middle of the table and yells Chancho. Everyone else must immediately do the same: the last one to put their hand down is the chancho and loses the round.
