The object of Triani is to draw and capture cards that enable a player to outscore opponents in "booking" his section of the playing board. 1 "book" consists of three cards of any suit; the sum being the same as the point value above a card outline on the board. A player may double his score by forming a "book" of three cards of his suit. Quick climaxes with unpredictable outcome till the last, as players strive to obtain the high value "TRIANI BONUS SCORE" (Joker and two Aces in their suit). Triani is played with a special board, but normal decks of cards, the exact number determined by the number of people playing (1-2 decks plus Jokers).
