3UP 3DOWN Card Game

Product Information

DUNK:B.C.’s last practice of the week was inside BC Place — out of the elements. That tells me all I need to know. BALLANTINE: There is no reason for me to believe the Argos won’t be able to get to the big game. Montreal hasn’t beaten any of the remaining playoff teams but their elite defense will keep it closer than this spread. The "Clear", "Clear + 1", and "Clear + 2" cards are greater in value than all numbered cards. Refer to the "CLEAR CARDS" section for how to play each type of Clear card.

ABBOTT: With all due respect to Cody Fajardo, the reason why the Alouettes have been underdogs all season is that they haven’t beaten anybody of substance. The Montreal offence is about as scary as a kitten and their impressive defence is dwarfed in talent by that of their opponent. If the Argos are who they say they are, this will be over by halftime. HODGE: Montreal will need close to a perfect performance to get the upset here. Toronto has been champing at the bit for almost two months and is simply the better-coached and more talented team. If the Alouettes cover this spread, it’ll likely be thanks to a touchdown in garbage time. HOSKINS: I know it is a massive long shot but something about the way Maas is coaching this crew intrigues me. I’m going against the grain and believing in the 16-2 curse. Honourable mentions: Henoc Muamba, Toronto Argonauts; Ben Hladik, B.C. Lions; Adam Konar, Edmonton Elks; Boseko Lokombo, B.C. Lions Photo: Bob Butrym/3DownNation. All rights reserved. DUNK: Toronto is the deepest team in the CFL and might actually have a real, tangible home-field advantage at BMO Field.There could be as many as 25,000 fans on hand at BMO Field to witness the Eastern Final, as the star-studded Argos’ complete dominance over the league this season has finally generated serious interest in The Six. Chad Kelly’s crew have not been resting on their laurels since clinching first place two months ago and have entered rarified air by tying the best regular-season record in CFL history. Specialists: Rene Paredes, Calgary Stampeders; Marc Liegghio, Winnipeg Blue Bombers; Tyson Philpot, Montreal Alouettes

If you have a card in your hand that you can play, you must play. Once you've played, you finish your turn by drawing from the available discard pile until you again have three cards in your hand. Canadian players have always been the heart and soul of the CFL, even if attempts have been made in recent years to minimize the impact of homegrown talent.
