Nana
At the table · 15–30 min
Collect matching trios to find your winning seven.
Reveal a center card or the lowest or highest available card in any hand. Keep going while numbers match.
Win with three trios, the trio of 7s, or two trio ranks that add to or differ by 7.
Either pair of collected trios wins immediately. A single trio of 7s also wins.
Three of a kind, one card at a time
Nana is a memory and deduction game for 2–5 players. Every number has three identical cards. Keep your hand private and sorted from low to high. The remaining cards lie face down in fixed positions in the center.
Find a matching trio
On your turn, reveal one card: any face-down center card, or the lowest or highest card in any player’s hand, including your own. You can choose the same hand again. A revealed card sits outside its hand, so the next lowest or highest card may now be available.
Continue revealing one at a time while the numbers match. Reveal three of the same number and collect all three as a set. At the first different number, the attempt ends: return hand cards to their owners and center cards to their original places, face down. After either result, the turn passes clockwise.
Three ways to win immediately
- Collect three sets.
- Collect the set of 7s.
- Collect two sets whose numbers add up to 7 or differ by 7, such as 2 and 5, or 3 and 10.
All three victory conditions apply together. A set always means all three cards of that number.
