Helo, Boomer and Starbuck (foreground, back to viewer) in a game of Full Colors

Triad is a type of bluffing card game similar to poker played in the Twelve Colonies. The hexagonal card faces are abstract symbols that are not yet explained in the Re-imagined Series. The back of the cards show a large star surrounded by a border with smaller stars.

"Full Colors" is the name of the highest winning hand in the game. Players declare their hands after betting is concluded, or "fold" (resign) depending on the cards they were dealt.

Possible Winning Hands

"Full Colors" (highest, Water)
"3 on a Run" (Water)

Notes

This card game was to be named identically to a similar card game found in the Original Series, called "Pyramid". However, the name was mistakenly switched with the one of the basketball/rugby type-game, which was called "Triad" in the Original Series, but is now "Pyramid" in the Re-Imagined Series.

-* This card game was apparently to be named identically to a similar card game found in the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]], called "[[Pyramid (TOS)|Pyramid]]." However, a writing error by [[Ron D. Moore]] mistakeningly misnamed the [[Pyramid (RDM)|basketball/rugby-style athletic sport in his show]] with the card game's name from the Original Series. Moore's athletic sport, to parallel the Original Series, should have been called [[Triad (TOS)|Triad]].
