The classic Mexican game "La Loteria" is now more fun than ever, play with thousands of players around the world via online and have fun playing with friends in private rooms or with strangers in public rooms to kill time.
A card is dealt from the deck, and any player that has the picture of that card on their board puts a bean on it. The pattern to win (a column or a row) is determined at the beginning of each round. Once one player makes that pattern, they shout Loteria" (hit the Loteria button on Google's version) and win the game.
