Triad (RDM)

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[edit]

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

Note[edit]

This card game was apparently to be named identically to a similar card game found in the Original Series, called "Pyramid." However, a writing or script error apparently caused a change in the game's name.

The events of the Re-imagined Series further confuse the issue when a basketball/rugby-style athletic sport called pyramid is introduced in the show. A pyramid team, the Caprica Buccaneers, is on retreat in the mountains of Caprica when the Cylon bombing begins. The team forms a human resistance group.

The separate continuity novelization of the Miniseries gives the name of "Triad" for the card game shown.
