| '''Triad''' is a type of bluffing card game similar to [[Wikipedia:poker|poker]] played in the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|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. It can be played in traditional or "strip" fashion.

| "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.

| ==Notes==
| |
| * This card game was to be named identically to a similar [[Pyramid (TOS)|card game]] found in the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]], called "Pyramid." However, the name was mistakenly switched with the basketball/rugby type-game, which is called "[[Triad (TOS)|Triad]]" in the Original Series, but is now "[[Pyramid (RDM)|Pyramid]]" in the Re-Imagined Series.
| |
| * According to actor [[Leo Chiang]], the production team has not come up with any specific rules for the game and the actors improvise it.<ref>[http://www.bsg.cz/?q=interakce/leo BSG.CZ interview with Leo Chiang]</ref>
| |
| * In the [[List of Comics#Dynamite|comic]] "[[Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero 3]]," {{inlineref|full major}} is a high-hand in this game, but is inferior to the highest hand, full colors.
