INTRODUCTION OF TRIATHLON

Triathlon is an interesting trick taker for 3 players designed by David Parlett.  This game uses a modified deck and three Jokers.  Players try to capture tricks while at the same time accomplish certain feats.  Bonus points are awarded for accomplishing the feats, and the end of the game is triggered once a player has accomplished all three.

David has done a fine job taking traditional trick-taking gameplay and forcing players to really think about how many tricks they take as well as how they take them. 메리트카지노

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

 Triathlon uses a 39 card deck that includes 6’s-Aces in all four suits as well as three Jokers.  Deal 13 cards to each player.

DETERMINE TRUMP

To determine which suit is trump for the round, the player left of the dealer decides one suit that will not be trump.  For example, they might say not spades.  The next player does the same.  The dealer then picks one of the two remaining suits to be trump.

THE PLAY

THE FIRST TRICK

Player left of dealer begins the trick with any card from their hand. Following players match the suit if they can or else play any card.  The highest ranking card in the lead suit or the highest ranking trump card wins the trick.

CONTINUING PLAY

The trick-winner leads the next trick, and play continues until the last trick is captured.  After tallying up the score, deal passes left.  Continue playing rounds until the end-game conditions have been met.

ENDING THE GAME

The game ends when one of the players has accomplished all three feats at least once.  See the scoring section for details regarding the feats.

JOKERS 

If a player leads the trick with a Joker, the other players can play any card they wish.  The lead Joker takes the trick.  A Joker can only win the trick if it is led.
