The rule
Thirty seconds to learn
Triple Triad is played by two, on a grid three squares by three. Each player brings five cards, and every card carries four numbers — one per side.
Place
Turn by turn, each player lays a card on a free square. Nine squares, nine cards: a match is exactly nine moves long.
Flip
Your card lands against an opponent’s card? The two numbers facing each other are compared. If yours is higher, their card turns your colour — and from then on it counts for you.
Count
With the grid full, you count the cards in your colour, including the one still in your hand. The majority wins.
That is the whole of the basic game. The fifteen optional rules — Same, Plus, Elemental… — are laid on top of it, one region and one opponent at a time, and it is their combinations that make the matches you remember.
The game
The whole game fits on nine squares
The whole game, nothing less
The cards, the opponents, the regional rules, the progression: the game you know, entire, with no cut-down version.
The rules you are expecting
All fifteen, combos included. They stack the way they do in the original, and that is where the matches get interesting.
On the phone and on the desk
One account, the same collection everywhere. Start a match on the train, finish it at your desk.
The rules
Fifteen rules, and they stack
Every region and every opponent has its own. You find them out by playing — but there is no harm in knowing what you are walking into.
Flipping differently
Five ways of changing the comparison itself: the tie that flips, the sum that flips, the lower number that wins.
Changing the cards
Four rules that touch the numbers themselves, the ground they are played on, or the card you walk away with.
Changing the hand
Six rules about what you see of the other hand, what you are allowed to play, and what happens on a draw.
And above all of them: Combo. When Same or Plus flips cards, those cards flip their own neighbours in turn. It never switches off — it is the rule that turns a good move into an avalanche.
Ranked matches are refereed. Every match is checked again before it counts. Nobody climbs the ladder any way but playing.
The collection
Five hundred and sixty-five cards to find
You win them off opponents, you trade them, you bid for them at the auction house. Some of them keep you waiting a long while.

The community
There is a Discord
