After the first round of betting, the twelve men who had started the round with them had been cut down to a measly six, the other six of them far too scared to put anything on the line.

"My lord, how does this game work?" Ases Ash as he watched the server shuffle the cards.
"It's simple…" Eliron said as he began to explain.
Unlike regular poker that made use of numbered cards, King's Gambit made use of animals instead, each one differing in value.
Starting from the most valuable down to the least valuable cards were: Royal Stag, Beer, Deer, Racoon and Sparrow being the least.
Apart from this, instead of symbols like hearts, spades and others, in King's Gambit, we had three colours.
Platinum Gold, Silver and the lowliest, Red. All arranged in descending order of value.
