coon-cann.

/ˈkuːnˈkan/

Forms: Also cooncan, kuhn-kan; conquian /ˈkɒŋkɪən/.

Etymology: < Spanish con quién with whom?

A game of cards, originating in Mexico, the main object of which is to secure sequences. Each player receives (usually) ten cards, and the aim is to form sequences of the same suit or sets of three or four cards of the same denomination. One card is placed face upwards and the rest of the cards face downwards, each player in turn taking either the exposed card or the top card of the pack, afterwards discarding any card in his hand. The player gets rid of his cards by declaring them when he has made a complete set or sets, and the winner is the one who first gets rid of all his cards.
