You’re sitting in a busy tavern, the kind where people laugh, drink, and pass the time with a game of cards. Around here, playing cards  is a common way to win some extra coins. Everyone knows the rules, and with a bit of luck and smart bets, you might walk away richer than you came.

Instructions

  • You and your opponent each get 3 cards from a deck of 9.
  • You’ll play 3 rounds, using one card each round.
  • Each round has a different rule for who wins:
    1. Round 1 – Highest number wins
    2. Round 2 – Lowest number wins
    3. Round 3 – Suit wins (like rock-paper-scissors):
      • Spears beat Axes
      • Axes beat Swords
      • Swords beat Spears
      • If the suits are the same, the higher number wins
  • Before each round, both players bet coins.
  • If you win the round, you win double your bet from your opponent.
  • If you lose, you lose your bet.
  • You start with 10 coins. Try to end with more than you started!
