Triad (RDM): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:08, 13 June 2006

Full Colors 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 Re-imagined Series. The back of the cards show a large star surrounded by a border with smaller stars.

"Full Colors" is also 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

"Full Colors" (highest, Water)
"3 on a Run" (Water)

Note

This card game was apparently to be named identically to a similar card game found in the Original Series, called "Pyramid." However, a writing error by Ron D. Moore mistakeningly misnamed the basketball/rugby-style athletic sport in his show with the card game's name from the Original Series. Moore's athletic sport, to parallel the Original Series, should have been called Triad.

The team forms a [[Resistance (movement)|human resistance group]].
-The separate continuity [[Battlestar Galactica (2005 Novel)|novelization of the Miniseries]] gives the name of "Triad" for the card game shown.
