- Welcome to TriCards!
-
- TriCards is a game in which you gamble your points against the
- Computer. The game starts and you place your bet (which is limited to
- the number of points you have). The games uses a deck of cards (A-10
- amd K) from a regular deck, aside from the Queen and Jack, Aces equal
- one, Kings equal zero.
- The game board is displayed with the computer having 3 cards and
- you having 4 cards, three regular game cards and one bonus card. The
- game starts by prompting you to flip over any one of your three regular
- cards and the remaining in succession in any order. The object is to
- form a three-digit number. The first card flipped is the first digit,
- the second card flipped is the second digit, etc. After you have formed
- your three-digit number you will be prompted for your bonus card. If
- you use your bonus card you are penalized points, but you have the
- option to exchange the bonus card (if good) with any of your digits in
- your three-digit number.
- The Computer does the same but has no bonus card to use. If
- your three-digit number is higher than the Computer's, you win 2 times
- your bet, and your three-digit number is added to a cumulative total.
- If your number is lower than the Computer's, you lose your bet, and your
- three-digit number is subtracted from your cumulative total.
- The Champion TriCards Player is the player with the highest
- cumulative total to date. Point Scores are kept on a monthly top ten list.
