[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 2714575, member: 17691"] Ten gambits probably makes for a reasonable length game on its own (perhaps an hour or an hour and a half for larger groups). If playing it at the game table to simulate the PCs' playing I'd probably limit it to a short five gambit game.I'm not certain if it's the same game or not, but the typical tavern card game in the Forgotten Realms is called "Elemental Empires" and is played with a deck called a "Talis" deck divided into element based suits (much like a real deck of cards I suppose). I would have been more interested in seeing a version of this card game for PCs to play rather than 3DA.I myself would lean towards playing the classic card game that the tarot deck is believed to have been originally designed for called "Triumph" or "Trumps". One could simply buy a medieval tarot deck reproduction and download the rules online. [/QUOTE]
