About the Game

TR3S is a board game that challenges your ingenuity to write 6 words. Sounds easy? Each word must include the 3 letters shown in the grid, and you only have 2 minutes to do it. Finish before the others and you’ll earn bonus points!

The game is played over 3 rounds. Each round has 3 phases: Place letters, Write Words and Score.

Shuffle the letter tiles in the bag and draw 9 tiles and place them face down in a 3x3 grid. At the same time, each player tries to write as many words as possible (up to 6) before time runs out. Each word corresponds to one of the letter combinations in the grid: there are 3 horizontal combinations (rows 1, 3 and 3) and 3 vertical combinations (columns 4, 5 and 6). If a player writes all 6 words before time runs out, they take the totem and place their board face down. The totem grants +3 points if all 6 words are correct and in order. Otherwise, it gives -3 points. When time runs out, read the words in order (1 to 6) and score them.

1 point if the 3 letters are NOT in order 2 points if the 3 letters are in order 3 points if the letters are in order AND another player wrote exactly the same word. The player with the totem scores +3 extra points

After three rounds, whoever has the most points wins.

With 3 difficulty levels and Solo Mode.
