The Revolution of Card Gaming as you know it...

Triple Topper is a a card game system. This means it can be played in many different ways for all the different tastes, just like regular cards. However, this is a not a reinvention of your classic card games, this is the new gaming standard. There's no one-to-one correlation between a regular deck and a Triple Toper deck.

The regular deck has 2 factors which make one card different than another. There is only one Jack of Hearts. But there are 4 Jacks, and 13 hearts. Even though in some games it might be enough to say you have a Jack, in some games you have to say which Jack. The point is there are two parts to naming the card. The deck has 3 elements, color, number and suit. Sure, regular cards have a color too, but the color is a function of the suit, so you don't have to say the red jack of hearts, because there is only one Jack of hearts, it is red, and there is no black versions of Jacks of hearts. (there are other black jacks, but they are not hearts.) None of the 3 variables are a function of the other 2 There are both red and black (among other colors) 2 of hearts There are hearts and blobs and other shapes in red 2. And there's 2's and 3's and other numbers that are red hearts. There are 5 numbers, 5 colors, and 5 suits in the whole system, and each card has one number, one color, and one suit. There are 5 x 5 x 5 possibilities for combinations of 1 color, 1 number, and 1 suit, making 125 combinations, and therefore 125 main cards. Plus there are 2 jokers, and 3 other cards for one particular game, outside of the regular realm of standard Triple Toper Cards making a total of 130 cards.

Also wilds are a little different in games with wilds. In most games with wilds, something is either completely wild, or it's a natural card. These games with wilds have degrees of wildness. Blobs (like mentioned above) are wild in shape. But if it's a red blob 1, only the suit is wild and the number and color are fixed. Black is the wild color, and question mark is the wild number. It is possible to have 2 variables wild, like a Black Blob 3, or even all 3, the Black Blob ? (there's only one card with that distinction).
