Triple Triad Card Game in Skyrim

Check Out My Other Mods

Intro

One of my favorite mini games of all time is Triple Triad from the Final Fantasy game series and this is my attempt to bring it to Skyrim. There are 111 cards to find, 27 of which are unique character cards. All assets are original, modders resources or have the creative commons license. See the Credits section for more details.

Getting Started

To play Triple Triad, you need a Triple Triad board in your inventory and at least 5 cards in your cards chest. To get the board you can buy one from a general merchant. To get cards, you can buy a card pack from a general merchant, find them in enemy loot, or win them from playing the game. To view your cards chest, click on the Triple Triad board in your inventory under the Misc section. To use a card pack, click on it in your inventory, a new menu will pop up with 4 to 5 cards. Take the ones you want, or all of them. Warning, if you don't take all of them, the ones you don't take will disappear and can't be retrieved again. By default, any cards you receive are automatically transferred to your cards chest, but this can be turned off in the config menu. Only cards in your cards chest are used when playing Triple Triad.

To open the config menu, buy a Triple Triad Info book from a general merchant and read it.

Triple Triad is very popular and almost anyone in Skyrim will play you, as long as they're not hostile towards you. The cards they use are based on their level, so higher level NPC's will have better cards. The Triple Triad dialogue won't show up if:

1. You don't have a Triple Triad board in your inventory.

2. You have less than 5 cards in your cards chest.

3. You are outside and it's raining or snowing.

4. The NPC is hostile towards you.

5. They are currently offering services, so merchants on the clock won't play.

As of Version 1. 1 I also added a spell called Toggle Triple Triad Dialogue which will allow you to turn the dialogue option off for specific NPC's.

Rules

For those unfamiliar with Triple Triad, here are the rules. These are all explained in the Triple Triad Info book in game as well, which is also where you can set your preferred rules.

Basic Rules:

Players place cards on the board alternately until no spots are left. To place a card, click on one from your hand on the left, then click a position on the board. There are 4 numbers per card. Each number represents a side of the card. When placing a card, if a number is greater than its opposing number, then the card is flipped. In the example below, the card to
