It’s a lot of fun, I’m not a great card player but this is easy and has built my confidence to try something a little more difficult. We always play with 6 people and have a lot of laughs.

I ordered this game for my mother and her friends who live in a Senior Independent Living community in another town. They had previously been playing a Tripoley only game on a flat board/cloth (which I didn’t know at the time). They were in need of an extra game and I sent them this one. I ordered on Sunday and they had it by Thursday (maybe earlier). They weren’t sure about the “spinning center”, but now seem to prefer it. They haven’t used it for the poker or rummy yet, but may start alternating.
Even though I haven’t used the game(s), I am giving it five stars because my mother and her friends are very happy with it which means I’m happy.

This is a “three-in-one game” – Tripoley. It includes Poker, Michigan Rummy and Hearts. Each game is ok and combined ok as well but the plastic dish for the chips or coins is chintzy. Along with the plastic tray a deck of cards and a small container of chips came as part of the game. All for [...] shipping, taxes, etc. I really don’t think it was worth it.

Tripoley is a great, fun game for cross-generation family times together. Our kids have been able to play starting about age 6. My 94-year old grandfather beat us all when we played at Thanksgiving because his poker memory from years back is still so good! We recently had a rousing evening with friends and neighbors playing this. It’s not too hard to learn and it’s not too simple to tire of. We like this specific set because the game board is very sturdy and the tray twirls to make the buy-in and pay-out easy.
The game is called Tripoley because each time you deal a hand of cards, you actually play three games with those cards before you start the next hand. You buy in with poker chips (provided in the box) and all the cards are dealt. On the first game you get chips for which high value hearts are in your hand (very straightforward). In the second game, you play poker by keeping the best five cards. In the third game, you play a “lower to higher” lay down version of Michigan Rummy with all the cards. For each game, the players get chips based on their play. After the third game, all the cards are turned in, deal passes to the left, all the cards are dealt, and the three games are played again.
It appears there a few versions of Tripoley available now through amazon.com ~ I’m not sure that any specific one is better than the others … although we are partial to the ones that have the twirly board.
If there were just one family game to own, this would probably be it! (sorry Monopoly, but you really do get very old after the first hour
