Trio

Trio by Happy Camper Games is recommended for 3 to 6 players ages 8 to adult and plays in about 15 minutes, and is a clever card game that's full of surprises!

Can you find three of a kind?

* Reveal two cards – either from the middle, or by asking any player for their lowest or highest card.
* If you find a pair, keep playing. Get three of a kind and collect the trio. But if the numbers ever don't match – the cards go back!
* With a little memory and a little luck, winning is easy as 1... 2... 3!

In greater detail, the deck consists of 36 cards, numbered 1-12 three times. Players receive some cards in hand, which they are required to sort from low to high, and the remaining cards are placed face down on the table.

On your turn, choose any single card to reveal, either the low or high card from a player's hand (including your own) or any face-down card from the table. Then, do this again. If the two cards show the same number, continue your turn; if they do not, return the cards to where they came from and end your turn.

If you reveal three cards showing the same number, take these cards as a set in front of you. If you are the first player to collect three sets, you win — except that a player wins immediately if they collect the set of 7s or two sets that add or subtract to 7, e.g., 4s and 11s.

Trio also includes rules for playing in teams with four or six players.
