Triple Topper (2000)

Play many classics, updated for the third millennium by adding a third dimension to card games. This deck has 5 numbers, 5 colors, and 5 suits. Each card contains 1 number, 1 color, and one suit, making 125 cards, 1 for each number/color/suit combination.

This deck can play many games. (14 are currently published at with more to come when I sell 100 decks.) But all games take advantage of the fact that it's a 3 dimensional card. Play 3D versions of Crazy Eights, Memory, Spite and Malice, Speed, Poker, Rummy, Blackjack, Cassino, Euchre, Tic Tac Toe, and 2 different versions of Klondike Solitaire. Plus there's 2 games which cannot be duplicated with regular cards.

One is a 3-variable trick-taking game where you want to take certain cards but not others,Circles are worth positive points, but are the least powerful suit, and squares are negative points but the most powerful suit in terms of trick taking. But Number rank and color team declarations take precedence over suit. Can be played cooperatively, 2 on 2, or 4 for themselves. Most net positive points wins.

The other game is an elimination card game where the object is to give someone six of the same number, color, or suit to eliminate them, and to be the last one standing. Blacks, Blobs, and Question Marks always bring its owner closer to elimination. And you can play offensively on your opponents cards, or defensively to make it harder to eliminate you. A near perfect chess match with cards for 2 players, a game of negotiations if played with more.

Coming soon: 3D versions of 2 competitive solitaires, Thirty-One, Go Fish, 2 Versions of Egyptian War, another version of Spite and Malice, another version of Speed, Pope Joan, and Eleusis.
