The Royal Card Game · 2–4 Players
Court of
THREE
Three is the magic number.A cut-throat race to 30 — built on scoring, bluffing and sabotage. Play your cards right, but beware the Rule of Three: end your turn off a multiple of three and lose it all.
Royalty
King (+6)
A royal worth +6. Plays onto any player like a Point Card. Can’t be stolen by the Thief, but the Jester can still swap it.
Queen (+6)
A royal worth +6, played onto any player. Immune to the Thief — though the Jester may still move it.
Prince (−6)
A royal worth −6. Drop it on a rival to wreck their score. Can’t be stolen, only swapped.
Princess (−6)
A royal worth −6. Play it on an opponent to swing their total. Safe from the Thief.
Court Cards
Merchant
Discard to bank your score — only on a multiple of three. Banked cards are immune to the Rule of Three and to Spy challenges.
Thief
Discard to steal any one card in play — even from a bank — into your hand. Royalty can’t be stolen.
Jester
Discard to swap the positions of any two cards in play. Banked cards can’t be swapped.
Oracle
Discard to look at any 3 cards in one opponent’s hand.
Gambler
Discard, then name an opponent and a card. If they hold it, they must hand it over.
Spy
Play face-down as a +6. Any card can be played face-down as a bluff — opponents may challenge it at the end of your turn.
Detective
Play as a Spy, or discard to flip every face-down card in play. If challenged as a Spy, all hidden spies are revealed.

Court of Three is a tactical card game of scoring, bluffing and disruption for 2–4 players. Build your score with Point Cards and bend the table to your will with Court Cards.
The Goal
Be the first to end a turn on exactly 30 — or any higher multiple of three (33, 36, 39…). Turns are sequential, so two players can’t win on the same turn; the first to legally reach a winning score takes the game.
Setup
Shuffle the 68-card deck and deal 6 cards to each player. Place the rest face-down as the draw pile, with a discard pile beside it. If the draw pile runs out, reshuffle the discard to form a new one.
Your Turn
- Draw. Take one card from the draw pile. If you already hold 7 cards, skip the draw.
- Play. Play up to three cards onto any player — yourself or an opponent. You may pass instead, but never three turns in a row.
- End your turn. Announce you’re done. Resolve any Spy challenges, then check the Rule of Three.
The Rule of Three
At the end of your turn your score must be a multiple of three — otherwise you discard all your unbanked cards (banked cards stay safe). Zero and negative multiples (−3, −6…) satisfy the rule, but only a positive score can win.
Good to know: If a rival knocks your score off a multiple on their turn, there’s no penalty — you simply fix it on your next turn. You can even end off a multiple on purpose to wipe a bad board.
Royalty
King and Queen are +6; Prince and Princess are −6. They play like Point Cards onto any player. Royalty can’t be stolen by the Thief, but the Jester can still swap them.
Spies & Challenges
A Spy is played face-down and counts as +6. Any card can be laid face-down as a bluff. At the end of your turn, each opponent may challenge a face-down card you played: if it’s a real Spy the challenger loses their unbanked score; if it’s a bluff, you do. With no score to lose, the loser discards 3 cards from hand instead. Challenges resolve before a winning score is confirmed.
