While the game's title as it was released in English refers to the 14th century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms (三國演義) by Luo Guanzhong, the title as it was released in Japan and Chinese regions refers to the 3rd century historical text Records of the Three Kingdoms (三國志) by Chen Shou. About This Game Total War: THREE KINGDOMS is the first in the multi award-winning strategy series to recreate epic conflict across ancient China. Combining a gripping turn-based campaign game of empire-building, statecraft and conquest with stunning real-time battles, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS redefines the series in an age of heroes and legends.
2 or more, but no playtesting has been done with more than two players.
1/2 a deck (two full suits) per player, plus one king (use a joker if you want) - the idea is to have two kings for every player, plus one extra.
Suits are irrelevant.
Ace is worth 1 point, numerical cards are worth their face values, Jack is worth 11, Queen is worth 12, and King is special and has no numerical value.
Four cards are dealt to each player, and four are turned face up on the table. Play proceeds to the left of the dealer in clockwise order. To start each turn, a player draws a card. Then, if he can form a set of three cards, one from his hand and two from the table, of which two add up to the third, then he removes those three cards from play, puts them in a pile near him, and draws an additional card. If he cannot form such a set, he discards one card from his hand by placing it face up on the table. Then the turn is over.
An example of a set is as follows: 6 in the hand, 5 and Jack on the table. This is a set because 6+5=11.
Kings cannot be used in sets of three or discarded. They can, however, be taken into the hand by being matched with another King already in the hand.

If at any time a player empties the table of face-up cards, four new cards are turned over, and any Kings among them are given to the player who emptied the table. This is in addition to the extra card drawn after making a set.
When a player has three Kings in his hand, the game immediately ends. There are three variations regarding how to score and decide a winner:
- The player who gets the three Kings wins. No scoring is needed.
- The cards in the piles of sets are counted as points for each player. The player who got the three Kings in his hand gets a 15-point bonus. The player with the most points wins.
- The cards in the piles of sets are counted as points for each player. The player who got the three Kings in his hand has 15 points deducted from his score. The player with the fewest points wins.
A possible variation would be to continue until all the cards have been played, and use the second or third scoring method above.

The Three Kings ritual could very well be dangerous, so you are advised not to attempt it. It is said that by performing the ritual, you can access a place they call “The Shadowside”. Its effectiveness depends on how closely you follow the instructions.
~~~How it works~~~ Bonus codes for online casinos.
•To play The Three Kings game, you need a quiet and empty room, preferably without windows. If necessary, you can cover the windows, making sure that the room is in total darkness. This is called the Dark Room.

•Place a chair in the center of the room, facing north. This is your throne.
•Place the other two chairs exactly to the left and right, facing your throne. These two chairs are known as the Queen and the Fool.
•Place the two large mirrors on the Queen and the Fool chairs. The mirrors should be facing each other. If you sit on the throne, facing straight ahead, you should be able to barely see your own reflection in both of the mirrors. If you see your own reflection in the corner of your eye, just barely there, then you’ve done it right.
•Get a fan and place it behind you facing the throne. Make sure it’s on while you play.
•Turn off the lights and leave the door open and go to your bedroom.
•Put the candles, lighter, alarm clock and cellphone beside you bed. Set the alarm clock for exactly 3:30 AM. Turn off the lights and go to sleep while holding your childhood toy.
•When the alarm clock goes off at 3:30 AM, turn it off, get out of bed, but don’t turn on the lights. You have exactly three minutes to light your candle and make your way to the dark room to sit in your throne. You should be seated by 3:33 AM. Then you are free to ask questions.
•Whatever you do, make sure you DO NOT look directly at the mirrors or the candle. Just stare straight ahead. Don’t chicken out either. You need to stay seated until 4:44 AM. Just stay still and try not to move. It’s okay to tremble a little bit. You need to stay seated for at least 1 hour and 11 minutes.
~~~How to end the game~~~
To end the ritual, you can blow out the candle at 4:44 AM.
If the candle goes out before 4:44 AM, you’re on your own…
~~~Game rules~~~
•DO NOT let the candle go out or the ritual will end. This is a backup measure to protect you. Remember, the fan is behind you. Your body is between the fan and the candle. If your body was suddenly moved or dragged out of the chair, the fan would immediately blow out the candle. That backup measure may save your life.
Three Kings Game How To Do
•Do not look directly at the mirrors or the candle.
•If the door to the room is closed, leave immediately (remember you left the door open)
•If the fan is off, leave immediately.
•If you are not sitting in the throne by 3:33 AM, do not continue to play the game.
•If you have to abort the mission, leave the house immediately. After 4:44 AM, it is safe to return.
