Ideal Tripoley Diamond Edition Card Game

Tripoley is a great, fun game for cross-generation family times together. Our kids have been able to play starting about age 6. My 94-year old grandfather beat us all when we played at Thanksgiving because his poker memory from years back is still so good! We recently had a rousing evening with friends and neighbors playing this. It's not too hard to learn and it's not too simple to tire of. We like this specific set because the game board is very sturdy and the tray twirls to make the buy-in and pay-out easy.The game is called Tripoley because each time you deal a hand of cards, you actually play three games with those cards before you start the next hand. You buy in with poker chips (provided in the box) and all the cards are dealt. On the first game you get chips for which high value hearts are in your hand (very straightforward). In the second game, you play poker by keeping the best five cards. In the third game, you play a "lower to higher" lay down version of Michigan Rummy with all the cards. For each game, the players get chips based on their play. After the third game, all the cards are turned in, deal passes to the left, all the cards are dealt, and the three games are played again.It appears there a few versions of Tripoley available now through amazon.com ~ I'm not sure that any specific one is better than the others ... although we are partial to the ones that have the twirly board.If there were just one family game to own, this would probably be it! (sorry Monopoly, but you really do get very old after the first hour ;)

The game itself was smaller and not as thick as the old style I owned. When you put it together be careful the corners almost cracked. I gave it as a gift and they liked it but I didn't for my money.

Tripoly has obviously been around forever (thus the 75th Anniversary Game) and I think the reason it has lasted is that it has multiple ways to play (from simple to more complex), can include a little lighthearted gambling (making for fun competition) and can be enjoyed by a large age group.As a kid, I remember playing this with my parents and everyone of every age enjoyed it. It is just the same now that I am the Mom! I have kids ranging from 11 to 20 and adults that enjoy playing it too....from Mom to Grandma...so it still holds up as a good old-fashioned family card game.Our family loves board games and card games too and this fits in perfectly. I consider most games educational in some way, especially if they involve counting and/or strategy and this includes both. If you have ever loved playing Rummy or simple Poker and other traditional card games I think you will enjoy this extra twist!

Bought for my mother. We love turning the game. It makes it easier to grab the money.

I remembered playing this game as a kid and was thrilled when I came across it online. The game looks great. I only wish I could remember how to play it because the directions absolutely suck. I've had the game out twice so far and neither group has been able to play it because nobody can agree on what the rules are supposed to be. Eventually I'll take the time to go back online and find a source for the instructions. Once I find them, I'm sure I'll enjoy playing the game... did I mention that the directions that came with the game suck??!!

This game is so much fun to play because you play 3 different games each hand! There are 3 phases to the game which makes it more challenging. Phase 1 is collecting chips for certain hearts that are in your hand. If you want to learn the ranking of poker hands, Phase 2 will teach you this because you lay down your best 5 cards. The best hand wins the chips in the pot. Phase 3 uses all the cards you were dealt and play rummy. The winner of this phase wins the chips in the kitty. There are chips provided. This game will give your family hours and hours of fun. My teens loved it. I would highly recommend buying this game.

This is a fun game, actually its three games in one. We enjoy gettingtogether with other couples for game night, especially during the winter whenits cold outside and cozy inside. Everyone enjoyed it and so I'm happy Idecided to purchase it.The tray is easy to take apart and put back in the box when you are done.This is a combination of hearts, poker and Michigan Rummy but you can also justplay one game if you chose. You get the tray, chips and cards are all included.Enjoy!

Es un buen juego pero no le pongo todas las estrellas por que no venia con instructivo y eso que el producto venia sellado y si es un poco chico
