Rules — Triad Cards Online
Special rules modify the game flow. The more rules you activate, the higher the rewards!
| Rules | Description |
|---|---|
| See opponent's hand | Both players can see each other's cards face up during the entire game. Reduces luck, favors strategy. |
| 2+ identical values = capture | If a placed card has at least 2 identical values to adjacent cards (even opponent's), it captures them all. Raw values are used (no elemental modifier). |
| Borders = A for Same | Extension of the Same rule. Board edges count as value A (10). Requires the Same rule to be active. |
| 2+ equal sums = capture | If the sum of your card's value + the adjacent card is identical for at least 2 sides, the opponent cards involved are captured. |
| Auto cascade if Same or Plus active | When Same or Plus captures cards, those cards automatically trigger normal comparisons with their neighbors, creating capture cascades. |
| Elements on the board | Some board cells have a random element. If your card's element matches the cell, all 4 values get +1. If different, -1. Max 10, min 0. |
| Random Hand — Your hand is randomly composed from your collection | Your hand of 5 cards is randomly drawn from your collection. You don't choose your cards! |
