About El Valiente
El Valiente is a card from the Mexican game Loteria. To play Loteria, you need a deck of cards with pictures and names that go with them. It’s a traditional Mexican board game of chance, kind of like bingo. The players pick a board with a 4x4 grid of pictures and mark off the ones that fit as the cantor or caller calls them out. Someone who makes a winning pattern and yells “Lotería!” is the winner! “The Brave Man” is what El Valiente card means in English. This card stands for bravery and courage. It stands for someone who is brave and doesn’t back down from difficulties.
