(a) Tricon.—Three cards of the same denominations as, for example, three aces, three fives, three knaves, etc.
(b) Sequence.—Three following cards of the same suit, as, for instance, ace, two, three; ten, knave, queen; queen, king, ace, etc. Although the ace may be used at either end to form a sequence, it must not be so used between a king and a two. King, ace, two, is not, therefore, permissible as a sequence.
(c) Flush.—Three cards of the same suit, irrespective of value.
(d) Pair.—Two cards of the same denomination, the third one being different.
(e) Point.—The total number of pips on the three cards, ace reckoning for eleven, and either of the court cards for ten.
In case of a tie between two or more of the players in any round, the following rules are observed:—
(a) With Tricons, the highest wins, aces being first in this respect; then kings, queens, etc., down to twos.
(b) With Sequences, the highest wins; the ace, king, queen sequence reckoning as the best, and the three, two, ace sequence as the lowest.
(c) With Flushes, the one making the best “point”—as already described—wins.
(d) With Pairs, the highest wins. If two players are alike, then the holder of the highest third card has the preference.
