![]() It was exciting to collaborate with five Mexican and Mexican-American illustrators to reimagine many of the classic Lotería game art for the Doodle-along with some new cards for a fun sorpresa! We also partnered with popular Mexican YouTuber Luisito Comunica, who serves in the iconic role of game card announcer for the Doodle,” said Perla Campos, Global Marketing Lead, Google Doodle. “Today’s interactive game Doodle celebrates the traditional Mexican card game, Lotería! It’s also our second-ever multiplayer experience: Play the game with friends in a private match, or match with users around the globe at random. The “Don Clemente Gallo” edition, copyrighted in 1913, features the imagery that’s become a form of folk art synonymous with Lotería. One of the best known versions was created in Mexico by Frenchman Clemente Jacques in 1887. A shout of “¡lotería!” or “¡buenas!” declares victory for one lucky player, ending the round.Ĭharacters on cards have been updated several times to reflect the social norms of the time. A designated card announcer randomly pulls colorfully illustrated cards like “La Luna,” or “El Arbol,” and sometimes improvises poetic descriptions that match spaces on the tablas. The rules are similar to bingo in that players mark spots on a tabla, or board, with a token (traditionally a raw bean) and attempt to fill it before all other players. Originating in Italy in the 15th century, Lotería first moved to Spain before reaching Mexico in 1769. ![]()
