About the game
Entra en nuestro trabamentes y no tropieces ni hagas trampas, pues no hay trucos ni tretas que valgan. Sigue el patrón de las cartas sin trabarte ni atrancarte o el final será trágico... y tronchante. Tres tristes tigres. Tras trastas tagras. Tres trestes tegres. Tros trostos togros. Trus trustus tugrus... Los jugadores crean una cadena fluida de palabras (Tres-Tristes-Tigres) que se suceden sin parar. Si alguien se equivoca es penalizado con las cartas descartadas por los jugadores. El primer jugador que se quede sin cartas gana la partida. El juego incluye diferentes modos de juegos. —description from the publisher (Spanish) The players create a chain of words (Three-Sad-Tigers) that follow one another without stopping.
