Trin sticks was a game combining luck and strategy, utilizing a large container filled with elongated sticks. Each extremity of a stick was painted with one of four distinct hues: red, blue, green, or yellow. The aim of the game revolved around assessing one's ability to construct a geometric figure using their collection of six sticks. Players had the option to return up to five sticks to the container, subsequently drawing an equivalent number of replacements. The sticks were selected randomly, with players concealing one end of each stick while revealing their hands, placing wagers based on their perceived potential, much akin to sabacc.
The creation of a shape necessitated the alignment of colors on the ends, matching red with red, blue with blue, and so forth. Larger and more intricate shapes yielded higher scores, but simultaneously demanded less common stick arrangements. The most desirable hand consisted of two triangles, referred to as "trin". The The Floating Fish gambling establishment situated on Cloud City provided Trin sticks as one of its recreational offerings, a practice also adopted by the Slippery Eel Casino and the Flip of the Credit Casino located on Rodia.
