My character is supposed to be a keen gambler so I need to know what games I should get better at.

Iād suggest whist or something more straight forward. Blackjack would also work or gin.
Maybe try some of the dice games.
Liars Dice was a very common pub game. or shuttle was also.

Iāll look into those, I just need to know my way around some card games, itāll allow me and my character to break the ice.
in that case come and find us mercs and we can dice on the drum
Sounds good. If all goes well I may be fighting besides you, guess Iāll have to go easy eh
Probably the most popular card games in The League are:
- āRings of Influenceā
- āMasquerade of The Leagueā (thereās both a Sarvos Edition and a Temeschwar Edition, and the Bloody Butchers Guild have their own āMasquerade of The Butchersā (which is the same but with their own artwork)
- āFight for The Throneā
Other card games played in the League include:
A new card game coming out at Winter Solstice 380 is āButchers Bourseā
All of these are by The Guild of Good Games

Iād love a copy of those pamphlets!
If youāre at the next event please find me running the Nomad Casino
Iām not League but would love a copy of that pamphlet! Where can you be found?
Iām in the Camorra Barossa (we have red banners with a fox on outside of our tent) but often wander. I spend a fair amount of time in the Hospital. There should be the Festival of the Reaper in the League (I think on the Saturday) so Iāll be around for that!

Iāll be bringing 5 leather dice cups, with wood dice for each and 2 decks of reenactment quality playing cards. So have IC stuff for liars dice, poker or captains curse, and also plan on hosting chuck a luck for anyone who wants to gamble. Maybe there should be like a facebook group or something where we can compile all the different games. Would be very helpful since Iām going to attempt act as a wandering casino, weāll see how it goes though.
I now cannot make E1 so will have to make copies of my pamphlet available at E2 instead, sorry!
I would love to have whist played in the bars. It was a very popular game in bars way before the napoleonic wars and could be very thematic.
And now thereās also āBourse and Buildā, āBribe the Bourseholdersā and āGreat Work!ā which all come as part of āThe Best of Bourseā. See 'Best of Bourse' card games by Dave Wetherall ā GGG Games ā Kickstarter
At Anvil, in the casino associated with the Temeschbar, I think the card gaming is poker.
And once these are printed, I imagine people will be gaming with them:
