I really don't know the name in English, nor if it even exists, but in Spanish is called "Escoba de quince" (literally, "Broom of fifteen"). I was trying to explain it, but it was taking me too long, and then I casually found it in Wikipedia!

All in all, it's very well explained, and most rules are correct, though my family has some variations to the game. We make two teams of 2 o 3 people each, and we have to reach 70 to win. The king of coins and the seven of coins act like Jokers, and if you have them, you get one and two points, respectively. When your 3 cards add 9, you say "3 de 9", and get 3 points. You also get 3 points if you have a "flor"(your three cards from the same suit) or a flush. If your three cards add seven, you say "2 de 7" and get 2 points. Then, if you have in you hand 3 equal cards (or equal cards and a joker, for instance), you say "chorizo" and get 10 points. Whenever you say "3 de 9", flush or "chorizo",you've got to show your cards.
