How To Play:

Read this section to learn how to play Triple Triad.

Set Up:

Triple Triad is played on a 3x3 game board. The game is played with two participants. In this case, the player uses the blue cards, and the enemy (computer) uses the red cards. Each player begins by drawing 5 random cards to their hand from a deck of around 20-25 cards. Cards have 4 numbers known as ranks. There is one rank on each side of the card: top, bottom, right, and left. These ranks range from 1-10. Players alternate turns and the order is decided randomly.

Gameplay:

On each player's turn, they may place a card on any unoccupied space on the board. When a card is placed on the board, it is compared to any adjacent cards owned by the opposing player. If the rank of the placed card is higher than the existing card, then the player captures that card and flips it their color. Turns alternate until all spaces on the board are occupied.

Ending the game:

Once all spaces on the board are occupied, the game is over. The player who has the most cards in their possession wins the game. The player who went second will still have one card in their hand at the end of the game. This card counts towards their final total. If the total cards are even, then the game is a draw.
