Maybe a simple skill challenge with five rounds, each impacting the overall modifier. Make a check each phase and the ultimate winner is the person with the highest points at the end of the challenge.For example:Ante bellum. Players take their seats and eye each other. Opposed intimidate checks with the results providing a modifier to subsequent checks normally distributed around +0. That is, if there were 5 players, lowest gets -4, then -2, +0, +2, and the highest gets +4. Make the first Gambling check with the modifier added and stake of 1.The Flop. Play begins. A straight Gambling check (with the modifier from before) at a stake of 2.The tell. Players begin to learn each other's tells. Opposed Perception checks (or equivalent) with a modifier normally distributed about +0 as above. Make a gambling check (with all modifiers) at a stake of 3.The turn. Straight gambling check (with all modifiers) at a stake of 4.The push. Players apply the tells they learned against opponents. Opposed Insight checks (or equivalent) with a modifier normally distributed about +0 as above. Make a gambling check (with all modifiers) at a stake of 5.The river. Straight gambling check (with all modifiers) at a stake of 7.This should weight the game so that each round remain relevant and the game has a chance to come down to the final roll, but being better will enable you to put a buffer between you and your opponents each round.</blockquote>
