1. Never pay attention to your score until the game is over.
2. Keep the sound on! 
3. If you have 3 cards that are the same, don’t keep flipping cards. This is the time to use the wild card to open things back up again.
4. Use the wild card prudently (as in number 3) or when you have a hot run going or when you need to open up duplicates.
5. Timing is everything for the wild card. Try to click right before the card you want comes up.
6. Yes, speed is important for those extra points but, until you’re a more confident player, play nice and steady until you’re better at seeing the cards.

7. Avoid where you have one card on the left tier and one card on the right tier. It is almost always a dead game at that point.
8. Try to work up the pyramid rather than side to side. (Obviously, you’re sometimes faced with simply taking what you can get.)
9. With experience you can become somewhat of a “card counter”. The game is played with one deck and you can make educated guesses as to what cards have been played.
10. Ignore “MISSED ONE”. It’s easy to let that cold, heartless voice get to you and if it does you’ll miss others.
11. When Triple Stars doesn’t go your way, try Solitaire as a diversion.

Maureen (aka Jadrien)

I'm a writer and native New Yorker now living in the wilds of Texas. I've been playing Tournament Games for over a year and my fave game is Triple Stars. My TG name is "Jadrien." I love Victoriana and am writing a romantic suspense novel set in -- where else? Victorian England. 

That's it in a nutshell. Now I really must go play some Triple Stars!!

Bye!

Jasmania is one of our best and most loyal players. She's been playing with us from almost the beginning. Your sure to see her name on the leader board.
Jasmania is an entertainer when she's not terrorizong the tournaments!


Heather and Hugh (Aka HeatherHugh) , Coeur d' Alene, Idaho.


What can we say about this charming duo? They say "The family that plays together stays together." Here's proof and it's just as well becuase it probably takes two people to spend all the jackpots they win. Way to go you
two!
