Trio – Find Three of a Kind and Read the Table 🃏🧠

Flip a card, remember the number and work out where the other two are hiding – Trio is a quick memory and deduction card game for families and friends.

In this card game for 3 to 6 players aged 7 and up, 36 cards numbered 1 to 12 – three of each – are shared between the players' hands and the middle of the table. On your turn you reveal cards from the table or from someone's hand, but from a hand you may only ask for the lowest or the highest card. Keep matching and you keep going; find three of the same and the trio is yours.

🔍 Lowest or Highest?

Hands are sorted in order, so every card you ask for gives the whole table a clue. Watch what the others reveal, too.

🧠 Memory That Pays Off

Every revealed card is information. Remember where the numbers are hiding and you are one step closer to your trio.
