Triad

About the game

What is Triad?

With 3, you are in – and 3 is omnipresent in the game Triad. Each die shows the number values I, II, and III. On each turn, your action consists of three parts: Choose one of your dice, turn it onto a side with a different value, then move it that many spaces. Your objective is to create triads. A triad consists of a line of three dice with the same number value or of three dice with different values; the line needs to contain at least one die of each color. When you create a triad, you must remove one of your dice in the just-formed triad from the board. The first player to remove three dice from the board wins.
