## What is Tertia?

Find the trio. Train your eye. Build a streak.

Tertia is a fast, focused pattern-matching card game for iPhone and iPad. Twelve cards on the table. Three cards form a valid trio when, for every attribute — shape, count, color, and fill — they're either all the same or all different. Easy to learn. Fiendish to play under a clock.

  — FOUR DISTINCT MODES —

  • Practice — Get instant feedback on every pick. Tertia tells you exactly why a trio works or doesn't, attribute by 
  attribute. The fastest way to internalize the rules.
                                                                                                                      
  • Normal — The pure experience. Take your time. Use a hint when you're stuck.                                       
   
  • Time Attack — Five minutes. No hints. Every match buys you extra seconds and feeds your combo multiplier. Chain   
  trios in five-second windows to climb to ×2, then ×3.     
                                                                                                                      
  • Daily Puzzle — The same deck for every player, every day. Solve at your own pace, share your result, build a      
  streak. Miss a day and the streak resets. Show up tomorrow and it builds again.
