The Cards

The Back

First and foremost, what is a Triple Triad card ?

There are a few distinguishable features to a Triple Triad card.

First the back of it has an elaborate design, so it's easily recognizable from other playing cards out there. You wouldn't want to be the silly one to pull out a 3 of Diamond in the middle of a game, wouldn't you?

The Front

The other side has a foremost a picture of the person, monster or object that the card is named for. The other noticeable feature are the numbers in the upper right corner, although the numbers might be elsewhere as well, depending on the design. But no matter where the numbers are placed, they are important as to how the 4 numbers are placed.

The direction the number is placed is the 'attack' rating of the card. For Geezard, the 'Up' and 'Down' rating are 1, while the 'Left' rating is 5, and the 'Right' is 4. That direction comes into play during a game. The direction it faces becomes the direction it 'attacks' toward

The last feature isn't seen on Geezard, but there are 8 different icons that might appear on the card, giving the card an elemental attribute.

The Gameplay

The board is composed of 9 different areas where the cards can be placed into. Each player starts with 5 cards, and place card one after the other. The cards played 'attack' each other through the ratings seen on the card.

For example, if you place Geezard into the position number 1, the 'Down' rating (1) will attack any card in position 4, and the 'Right' rating (4) will attack the card in position 2.

If there is a card in the positions next to the card, they will be defending using their own opposing ratings. That is, the 'Down' from Geezard would be opposed to the 'Up' for position 4, and the 'Right' of Geezard would be opposed to the 'Left' of the card in position 2.

The way it 'attacks' depends on the rules in play, as there are various rules that dictate the gameplay. When you win over a card through any of those rules, the card gets 'flipped', which is the term used when changing a card from the opponent's color to yours. The two players are Blue and Red, and the one that has the most cards of their own color at the end, including cards left unplayed, win the game.

In case of a tie, the cards are returned to the hands and a new round starts.

The Rules

There are several rules that determine how a game is played out. There are 2 categories of rules that can be chosen before the game starts. Once the player agree on the rules, the game starts.

The Standard Rule

This rule is always in effect, you cannot select it or turn it off, it's the most basic part of the gameplay.

When you play a card, if your rating is greater than the opposing card's rating, you win. If your rating is lower or equal, nothing happens. The thing to remember is that you cannot lose cards during your turn, only turn some to your color. So you can play defensively.

In this example, Geezar's 'Right' rating of 4 beats Funguar's 'Left' rating of 3.

The Same Rule

This rule is a little more complex, as it requires not one, but two opposing cards. Slightly different as well, you don't need that both cards
