The Third Dimension for the Third Millennium Card Game
1. What's different between Triple Topper and Standard Cards?
Let's take a look at a public-domain card deck. (the kind you play Hearts or Poker or Euchre, etc., with) If you take out the Jokers, there are 52 cards. Some cards are similar to other cards, (there are 4 jacks, or 13 diamonds) no card is identical to another one (there is only one Jack of Diamonds) There are two different categories differences can fall under, number and suit. Those I call variables. Uno (a Mattel owned property, only using it as a case example) also used two variables, namely color and number. My deck is diferent. It has 3 variables, all three of which is possessed by each card. (Only the values of the variables change. All cards have a suit, but not all have a club. Suit is the variable, and Club is the value.)
BUT WAIT!!!!! DON'T REGULAR CARDS HAVE COLOR, NUMBER AND SUIT TOO?
But there is one major difference. Regular cards's color is a function of the suit. Once you know the suit, you know its color. In other words: WITH REGULAR CARDS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BLACK HEART. My deck has black hearts and red hearts, among other colors and suits, all with different numbers. There are 5 colors, 5 suits, and 5 numbers, which total 125 combinations, and there is one card for each combination.
2. What is different than other copyrighted games?
It would apear to be just another copyrighted game is one fact weren't true, which I shall attest to being true. THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 RADICALLY DIFFERENT GAMES YOU CAN PLAY WITH THE DECK. (14 are currently here with more to come.) All of which come standard with the free download of the card game. Note that you download rules anytime, but to play, you need to buy a deck. For free online play, see below.
It's as versatile as a regular deck. There will probably be one game you'd rather play more than all of the rest. But it's nice to have so many options available.
In my personal opinion, the equality between variables helps. I mean, in a regular deck, numbers and suits have different numbers of values. So they'll naturally have different roles. I mean cum'on, if in spades, one of the numbers is trump, and suits determine the rank, then 3 trumps is great. Some things are just not done. But with the equality of the variables, strategy shifts your mind from doing something with one to doing that same thing with another. Which makes the strategy more devious.

I have invested the money form one investor and friend, Dave LaGuardia, as well as personal income into buying the services of James Ranson. And we have 2 versions of Triple Topper, Craziness and Six Suit, online. So go to the top of the screen, read the rules, and then play Craziness and/or Six Suit, online, against either real human opponents, or if you're not patient, call in a computer opponent.
6. How can I use Triple Topper to get traffic to my website/store/toll free number/ etc.?
What I do is distrubute card games via the internet. The way I get paid is if an advertiser decides to have their logo on my cards. So if you know of any perfect advertisers, email them and tell them you play this game.
The ads are $1 each. If we get 100 uniques a month, that's one cent per ad exposure. THey can click when they see it on the revolving black box ad on most pages, or on the online card games themselves.
Play this game with a Triple Topper deck. Notice the light blocking ability on the right. (the left was the previous model, that was free.) Buy one by clicking on the picture of the cards.
