- For the article on the athletic sport known as "Triad" in the Original series, see Triad (TOS).
Triad is a type of bluffing card game similar to poker played in the Twelve Colonies. The hexagonal card faces are abstract symbols that are not yet explained in the series. The back of the cards show a large star surrounded by a border with smaller stars.
"Full Colors" is the name of the highest winning hand in the game. Players declare their hands after betting is concluded, or "fold" (resign) depending on the cards they were dealt.
Possible Winning Hands[edit]
Notes[edit]
- This card game was to be named identically to a similar card game found in the Original Series, called "Pyramid". However, the name was mistakenly switched with the one of the basketball/rugby type-game, which is called "Triad" in the Original Series, but is now "Pyramid" in the Re-Imagined Series.
- According to actor Leo Chiang, the production team hasn't come up with any specific rules for the game and the actors improvise it.[1]
