How can I create a proper multiple answer question that allows no more than 3 choices?

I am actually using a multiple answer and a validation type range: At least 1 and no more than 3.
That solves the problem partially. Because when a user tries to select more than 3 answers is allowed to, until the user tries to move to the next page of the survey. Thats when a validation error appears.
I want the users not being able to select more than 3 options. If selecting a fourth, one of the others should deselect.
Is that posible? and how?

Along with validation, paste the below code in the JS onReady function of multi choice question:
var that = this;
jQuery("#"+that.questionId+" input[type='checkbox']").on('click',function(){

if(jQuery(this).prop("checked")){

if(jQuery("#"+that.questionId+" input[type='checkbox']:checked").length==4){

jQuery(this).prop("checked",false);
}

}

});
