Games

Games turns any block into a card table. Place a deck, pick a game from a GUI, and bet real denars against other players (or the house) at Blackjack, Tenceur Hold'em, Five-Draw, or a no-rules Free play table. Cards float in front of you as 3-D displays that only nearby players can see, and money actually changes hands: winnings are taxed like any other income.

Placing a table

Place a table and invite other players to join.

1. Hold a Deck of Cards.
2. Right-click a block. A game-select GUI opens with four icons.
3. Pick a game. Blackjack opens a table-options GUI (min bet, max bet, house settings) first; Poker, Five-Draw and Free play arm placement immediately.
4. Click the spot to place the table. Sneaking cancels an armed placement.
5. Picking the table back up drops the Deck of Cards item again at the table's origin.

Playing at a table

Rules shared by every table, whichever game you pick.

• Cards render fanned in front of you, visible only within 48 blocks.
• Left-click a card in your fan to inspect it. Press your swap-hands key (F) to flip your whole hand face-up for the table.
• Right-click the shoe (the deck sitting on the table) to draw, deal, or act.
• Right-click the felt while holding coins to bet.
• Walk more than 6 blocks from the table and your cards return. This round's stake comes back with them.
• Only whole denars go on a table; silver bits are refused. The house's own help book puts it plainly: "Only whole coins go on a table. Silver bits are no good."
• Winnings are subject to the usual citizen tax, same as any other income.

Blackjack

The only game with a table actually standing on the server today.

1. While betting is open, right-click your own box on the felt holding coins. Click again to add more.
2. When your name comes up, right-click the shoe for a card, or type hit, stand, double, or split in chat. Those words only register on your turn. /games bet hit does the same thing.
3. The dealer reveals and draws to 17. This house does not hit soft 17.
4. A win returns double your bet; a natural 21 on the first two cards pays 3:2; a push returns your bet.
5. No insurance and no surrender are offered.
6. To deal by hand, stand at the dealer's spot and right-click the shoe; right-click again to hand it over. A dealer runs /games bet min <n>, /games bet max <n>, /games bet open, /games bet close, then right-clicks the shoe. Some tables deal themselves : betting opens automatically once the first real bet lands.

Tenceur Hold'em / Five-Draw

Tenceur Hold'em and Five-Draw share the same seating and betting flow.

• Right-click the felt with coins to sit down. Once two players are seated, anyone at the table can right-click the shoe to deal.
• Bet by pushing coins onto the felt first, then saying the word in chat: check, call, raise, fold. The table reads how many coins you actually put out, so saying "raise" with nothing on the felt does nothing.
• The dealer button shown above the table moves one seat after every hand; it sets who acts first.
• Five-Draw only: on your draw turn, click the cards you want to discard, then right-click the shoe for that many replacements. To stand pat, type draw in chat: chat only, there is no /games bet draw.
• Calling with less than you need puts you in for what you could manage: side pots are created and you can only win what you matched.
• Walking off forfeits this round's stake; earlier rounds' stakes do not return.

Free play

No rules, no turns, no dealer.

• Right-click the shoe empty-handed for a card. Click cards then right-click the shoe to discard them. No limit on how many you hold.
• Right-click the felt with coins to add to the middle.

Wagering non-coin items

Betting something other than coins.

Hold the item, type /wager <amount>, and the table votes on whether it counts (a 30-second window). If accepted, you have 10 seconds to click the felt with that same item. With only one other player at the table, a wager auto-accepts if nobody else has bought in.

Commands

Everything else at a table: placing it, dealing, betting coins, drawing, discarding, revealing, taking the free-play pot: is clicks and chat words, not commands. The chat words a table recognises, only on your turn, are hit, stand, double, split, check, call, raise, fold, and draw (Five-Draw stand-pat only).
