description Tripoley Overview
Tripoley is a card game played with a standard deck, chips, and a marked playing mat. Each hand combines three stages: players first collect chips for specified hearts combinations, then play a poker round, and finally play Michigan rummy, with the last phase determining the kitty. Stanley Hopkins sold the rights to his game to Cadaco-Ellis in 1937, and Cadaco later continued publishing commercial versions.

How do you play Tripoley?
Tripoley uses a standard deck of cards, chips, and a marked playing mat. Each hand has three stages: collecting chips for specified hearts combinations, playing poker, and then playing Michigan rummy.
What are the three stages in Tripoley?
The first stage awards chips for marked hearts combinations, the second is a poker round, and the third is Michigan rummy. The Michigan rummy phase determines the final race to get rid of cards and collect the remaining chips.
What equipment is needed for Tripoley?
A standard 52-card deck, poker chips, and a Tripoley playing mat are the usual equipment. The mat marks the combinations and spaces used during the hand.

No. Michigan rummy is only the final stage of Tripoley. Tripoley combines that phase with a hearts-based chip-collection stage and a poker round.
