Description

Trifecta is a quick and simple game that's perfect for two players looking for a fun and strategic challenge. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, you can easily fit in a game or two on the go. The rules are easy to learn, so you can dive right in and start playing without a lot of fuss. Designed by Zoran Dobrijevic and published in 2013, Trifecta is a great example of an abstract strategy game that's easy to pick up but still offers plenty of depth. As you play, you'll take turns adding cards to one of three rows, either on your own side of the board or your opponent's. The twist is that each row has its own restrictions on where cards can be placed, and some cards can even change those rules to help or hinder your progress. The goal is to get the total value of a row to fall within a specific range, and if you succeed, you'll earn a point. But be careful - if you don't make the cut, the row will be emptied and you'll be back to square one. With elements of memory, pattern building, and trick-taking, Trifecta is a game that will keep you on your toes and coming back for more.
