Helo, Boomer and Starbuck (foreground, back to viewer) in a game of Triad (TRS: "Miniseries, Night 1").
Racetrack losing a hand (TRS: "Six of One").

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. 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.

Possible Winning Hands

  • According to actor Leo Chiang, the production team has not come up with any specific rules for the game and the actors improvise it.[1]
  • In the comic "Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero 3," full major is a high-hand in this game, but is inferior to the highest hand, full colors.
