Talk:Dudo

Untitled
Hi, I think the number terminology is something like this (at least in Peru):


 * 1 = As/Aces
 * 2 = Don/Dones (Mr.) o Pato/Patos (Duck) (not sure... cannot remember)
 * 3 = Tren/Trenes
 * 4 = Cuadra/Cuadras (Block)
 * 5 = Quina/Quinas
 * 6 = Cena/Cenas (Dinner)

Comments anybody?


 * Hmm...I started the article from what I know of the chilean game. If there's a peruvian version of dudo it should be added a reference to it on the article. --Neigel von Teighen 23:38, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, the game is the same; the only thing that changes are the number "names". In Latin America is very frequent to have exactly the same thing known with different names (ask for a translation of "stapler" or "t-shirt" to people from different LA countries and you can see how divergent results you get).

Does cuarta really mean fourth (i.e. number 4 in a sequence)? Otherwise, if it means 1/4, I think quarter is a better translation. Adjusting 09:20, 2005 Mar 11 (UTC)
 * Cuarta can also be 1/4, but it is rarely used with this meaning (maybe only in "cuarta parte", cannot remember other use with this meaning), 4th is a more common meaning. Cuarto (masc.) can be fourth, quarter and room... but the idea is to pick a word not directly related (in meaning) to the number, so "room" is the preferred translation. Kio 06:20, 2005 Mar 14 (UTC)

Perudo?
We have a commercially produced game called Perudo, which is essentially the game described here with slightly different rules. Is Perudo just a made up commercial name, or is a known alternative name for this game? ike9898 02:36, 1 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Ike; after a quick googling, I saw that some pages claim "Perudo" has Peruvian origin. I'm from Peru, and I cannot remember having heard that name, just Dudo or Cachito. But anyways, it seems that it is a valid alternative name there in the US. Kio 00:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Cacho its not only a game.
I want to know how come this site doesnt have any information on the lastname cacho,it only describes a game in peru.

Palifico
[full disclosure: I am English, not Spanish] My understanding is that "Palifico" is the word used in the game for "Palification" meaning "providing support" to the player who just went down to their last die. There is no reference to the word "Palafico" other than poorly translated board gaming sites. IMHO all instances of Palafico" in this article should be changed to "Palifico."
