How it plays
Trio is a quick memory card game. Each player has a hand of numbered cards, sorted from lowest to highest, and there are cards face down in the middle.
On your turn, you ask another player to reveal their lowest or highest card, or flip a card in the middle. If you reveal three cards with the same number, you win the trio. The first player to collect three trios wins.
