Triplettes et Caméléon társasjáték

Angol leírás

Triplettes et Caméléon ("Triplets and Chameleon") are two games designed for a "tridimensional" 96-card deck. Each card represents every combination of 3 properties: rank (1, 2, 3, or 4), symbol (spade, heart, club, or diamond), and colour (red, yellow, green, blue, black, and white).

The game includes rules for the following games:

Caméléon: A trick-taking game for 2-7 players. Players bid the number of card points they must win in tricks with a possible partner. The highest bidder gets to exchange cards with the talon, pick the trump colour, and play with a potential partner.

When playing a card to a trick, a player must follow both colour and symbol; if unable, follow symbol; if unable, follow color; and if unable, may play any card. Highest ranked trump card wins, otherwise highest ranked card that followed the led card's symbol, color, or both wins regardless of how well the card followed the led card. If there's a tie, then the card that followed the led card the best wins the trick (following both is the best, then symbol, then colour). Otherwise, the first card played wins.

Caméléon Croisé: Like Caméléon, except it's a 4-player, fixed-partnership game. Players include their intended trump colour in their bids and there's no talon.

Triplettes: A rummy game for 2-7 players. Players meld their cards by playing triplets, which are 3 cards where 2 out of 3 of their properties are all the same. Players can exchange one card from a played triplet with a card from their hand provided that there's still a valid triplet after the exchange.

Patience du Caméléon. The player deals 20 cards face up and looks for 4 cards whose 3 properties are all different.

Poker Caméléon: Describes new combinations to use to play any poker variant. Each combination consists of only 4 cards; players break ties by replacing the a card in their combination with a fifth card from their hand.

Partisans: A 4-player, fixed-partnership trick-taking game where the player who played the trick-winning card doesn't necessarily take the trick. There are only three colours in the deck, one for each partnership and a neutral one. Players must follow symbol, otherwise play any card. The card that wins the trick is the highest ranked card that followed symbol that's not the neutral colour. The colour of the winning card determines which partnership takes the trick.
