Triathlon

A trick taker for three players in which you try to complete a "triathlon" by accomplishing three tasks: winning a number of tricks equal to a multiple of three (3, 6, 9, or 12 tricks,) winning the last trick of the hand, and winning the "middling" number of tricks (neither the least or the most.) If you complete a triathlon in one hand, you immediately win! Otherwise, whichever player is able to first complete three triathlons across multiple hands wins. The game is played with a 39 card deck: A-6 in four suits, plus three jokers. —user summary
