Description
Played in a format similar to Gin, players each take turns drawing from either the discard pile or the deck, then discarding, all the while attempting to isolate a suit in which to collect as many high-ranking cards as possible.
The game ends when any player, after drawing a card, has four cards of the same suit in one's hand; that suit becomes the "Tri", i.e. the attempted suit (even if the player did not intend that suit!). The players' ending score is calculated by summing from their hands the face values of all cards in the Tried suit, and subtracting from that sub-total half the total face value of any cards in hand that are not in the Tried suit. Players win if their net total equals or exceeds 65.
