Triplica to the Rescue

I was playing Seven Dragons by Looney Labs a couple days ago when I realized that my six-year-old daughter did not understand the meaning of the word diagonal. Her frustration was obvious, but I knew just the answer: Triplica by Fun Q Games.

Triplica is a simple get-three-in-a-row card game that is easy for me to pick up and play with my little girl. She enjoys it a lot because the rules allow her to beat ol’ Pops frequently enough to hold her interest; I enjoy it more than her because it’s a delight hearing her giggling and yelling TRIPLICA when she lines up three cards that match her current goal card.

But I loved the game this particular time because lining up three cards diagonally is one of the ways to score…and winning is a great incentive for my daughter to learn. She is a competetive lil’ thing.

AND, she DID win, but that’s fine with me.  I won as well. Take a look as she demonstrates a diagonal TRIPLICA in the picture below. I believe the motivational speakers call this situation a win-win.

"TRIPLICA, Daddy!"
