TRES Y DOS: A Simple Card Game for Everyone

Hey there! Have you ever played Tres y Dos? It’s a fun card game that can be enjoyed by many players. The goal of the game is to create a specific five-card hand. You’ll need three cards that have the same rank and two more cards that also have the same rank. It’s all about finding the right cards and building the perfect hand!

Let’s Get Started: Setup

First things first, we need to determine the seating order and choose the first dealer. To do this, we’ll draw cards from the shuffled deck. Each player will draw one card, and the player with the highest card gets to be the first dealer. They can also choose their seat before anyone else. The player with the lowest card gets to choose their seat last.

So here’s how the game works. First, the dealer takes the cards and mixes them up. Then, the person to their left gets to cut the deck. After that, everyone gets dealt five cards, going around the circle to the left.

The remaining cards go in the middle to create the stockpile. The top card from the stockpile is placed face up beside it to start the discard pile.

Now it’s time to play!

The player to the right of the dealer goes first, and then it moves counterclockwise from there. Each turn, the player takes a few different actions.

Let’s get started! First, I’ll draw a card. I can choose either the top card on the discard pile or the top card on the stockpile. Once I’ve made my choice, I’ll discard a card from my hand by placing it face up on the discard pile. Just remember, if I take the top card from the discard pile, I can’t discard it during the same turn.

We’ll keep playing like this until someone creates their Tres Y Dos. This hand is made up of three cards with the same rank, along with two other cards of the same rank. Once a player has their Tres Y Dos, they’ll reveal their hand to everyone by placing it on the table face up.

If the stockpile runs out of cards before the game finishes, we can shuffle the discard pile and use it as the new stockpile. Just remember to leave the top card of the discard pile.

That’s It!

The game comes to an end when someone announces that they’ve formed their Tres Y Dos. The first person to do this is the winner!
