Play
Tri is played with a special deck containing five suits (Stars, Fire, Skulls, Drips, and Brocs), each with cards numbering 1 through 12, and one wild card. Each player is originally dealt 6 cards. On each turn, a player:
- Draw 1 card, from either the discard pile or the deck, and
- Discard 1 card to the discard pile.
The game ends when any player, after drawing a card, has in hand four cards of the same suit. This suit becomes the Tried suit, and the player declares "Tri."

Famous quotes containing the word play:
“If you like to make things out of wood, or sew, or dance, or style people’s hair, or dream up stories and act them out, or play the trumpet, or jump rope, or whatever you really love to do, and you love that in front of your children, that’s going to be a far more important gift than anything you could ever give them wrapped up in a box with ribbons.”
—Fred M. Rogers (20th century)
“Love sits enthroned in Clara’s eyes,
The Graces play her lips around,
And in her cheeks the tendrest dyes
Of lilly mixed with rose are found.
Where charms so irresistless throng
What mortal heart can try resistance?
But ah! her nose is two feet long,
And bids our passions keep their distance.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“Work, as we usually think of it, is energy expended for a further end in view; play is energy expended for its own sake, as with children’s play, or as manifestation of the end or goal of work, as in “playing” chess or the piano. Play in this sense, then, is the fulfillment of work, the exhibition of what the work has been done for.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
