[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Identify this game?

My parents came back from a trip to Mexico with an odd-looking dice game,
and asked if I could identify it. I can't, so would appreciate help
from here.

The game comes as a leather cup lined with felt, with a small latching
compartment on the bottom that holds five dice. The dice are
identical, each having:

design				color		opposite

7 diamonds, ala a card		black		dot
8 diamonds, ala a card		red		K
capital J			blue		Q
capital Q			black		J
capital K			red		8
large dot			black		7

Orientation is dot-Q-K clockwise.

So, can anyone identify this?

	Thanx,
