Instead of our very commercial tradition, Dia Die Los Muertos is a rather joyful period of remembering the dead. Elaborate altars of rememberance covered with photographs and food are built, and November 2 begins with a morning picnic in a cemetery filled with marigolds. Dia De Los Muertos dates back o a month-long Aztec celebration which honored the gods of the underworld, with many traditions that endure today, including giving offerings or ofrendas to the deceased. In the 16th century, Spanish conquistadores arrived in modern-day Mexico and attempted to impose Catholicism on the indigenous people.

Basic Game:
The game plays in one trick, with the led card determining whether high or low card leads to the next trick. High card takes all cards (which are marked for positive AND negative points). Cards are labeled with suit, rank (1-20), an High/Low indicator, and the points it is worth at the end of the game.
