The game features a fun and colorful version of the classic Lotera game, which players can enjoy online. The gameplay is simple and intuitive, with players using their mouse or touch screen to select and mark off the different cards on their game board.
The traditional lotera has its roots in 15th century Italy, where it traveled to Spain. The Spanish brought the game to Mexico in the 18th century, around 1769. Initially played by the elite, La Lotera Mexicana grew in popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries thanks to traveling fairs, known as ferias.
