How to count

Where it comes from
Para el envido, sólo si se tienen dos cartas del mismo palo se añaden 20 puntos al valor absoluto de esas dos cartas; en caso contrario, el valor del envido es sólo el de la carta más "alta".

In English: For envido, only if you have two cards of the same suit are 20 points added to the face value of those two cards; otherwise, the envido value is just that of the "highest" card.

Para la flor y el envido las cartas negras valen 0; las cartas restantes tienen el valor en puntos que señala su índice.

In English: For flor and envido, the black cards are worth 0; the remaining cards are worth the points shown on their index.

el envido más alto vale 33 tantos y es el de la mano que cuenta con el seis y siete del mismo palo

In English: the highest envido is worth 33 tantos and belongs to the hand holding the six and seven of the same suit

el valor de su envido sería de 20 puntos más el valor de sus dos cartas más altas.

In English: the value of your envido would be 20 points plus the value of your two highest cards.
