Table feel
Trio has a high level of direct confrontation and strategic depth in confrontation. Players need to frequently pay attention to and react to others' strategies and turns. However, the game does not emphasize cooperation as much.

The game provides deep strategic possibilities and room for improvement over time. It adapts well to different player counts without compromising its appeal or balance. While it may take some time to learn, the depth it offers makes it worth the investment. Overall, Trio has a strong replayability score of 7.93.
Luck profile
Trio has a moderate influence of luck. Random elements have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. While some strategic decisions can influence the outcome, luck still plays a significant role. The game is a balanced mix of luck and strategy, with the outcome being determined by both player decisions and random elements.
Overview
nana, which was later reprinted as Trio, is a card game in which players are looking for three of a kind. The deck consists of 36 cards, numbered 1-12 three times. Players receive some cards in hand, which they are required to sort from low to high, and the remaining cards are placed face down on the table. On your turn, choose any single card to reveal, either the low or high card from a player's hand (including your own) or any face-down card from the table. Then, do this again. If the two cards show the same number, continue your turn; if they do not, return the cards to where they came from and end your turn. If you reveal three cards showing the same number, take these cards as a set in front of you. If you are the first player to collect three sets, you win — except that a player wins immediately if they collect the set of 7s or two sets that add or subtract to 7, e.g., 4s and 11s. Note that nana and Trio contain identical components, but nana is labeled for 2-5 players, while Trio is labeled for 3-6 players. Trio has slight changes to the rules, with players using all cards no matter the player count. Additionally, you play in normal mode — winning with three sets or the 7s — or "spicy" mode, winning with two linked sets or the 7s. Finally, Trio includes rules for playing in teams with four or six players.
