Triple³

Three stars or three times yellow

Triple³ picks up the idea of correlating characteristics from Set and turns it into the opposite:

There are 64 cards in four different colors – Red, Blue, Purple and Yellow, four different shapes – Circle, Diamond, Cross and Star and four different amounts, represented by wave lines – no, one, two or three such wave lines.

Cards are shuffled, the first nine cards are laid out open-faced in a grid of 3x3 in the middle of the table and the rest of the card is dealt evenly to all players, an eventual rest is stacked randomly on any of the cards in the grid. Each player stacks his cards face-down on the table and must now try to get rid of his cards as quickly as he can. To do so all turn up the first card of their stack and place it – if possible – in a way on the 3x3 grid that it forms a triple with two cards already in the grid, in a row, column or diagonal. A Triple is formed by three cards with one common characteristic, Shape. Color or Amount. Of course there can be several Triples formed at the same time and of course a Triple can have more than one characteristic in common.

When you make up a Triple you must announce the common characteristic so that other players can check the Triple and also get information on where a possibility might occur for their own card. If you place your last card you win. When nobody can place a card anymore the game ends and you win with fewest cards remaining.

Trinple³ is a fast card game with really simple rules, the allure is simply in being faster than the other players. Good, easy family fun where you have to react and adapt to new conditions quickly.
