       Rules for Tarsk
   DIR By: Kardelen

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Tarsk, A Gambling Game: (Free Men & Women)
       This gambling game requires at least 2 players, with a maximum
       of 4 per table.
       At the start of the game, a wager can be made, either coin, or
       trinket, whichever the gamblers wish to gamble with.
       Each turn, a player rolls 2d6 until a 1 is rolled.
       If the player rolls a 1, they score nothing and it becomes the
       next player's turn, and the dice are passed to the next player.
       If the player rolls any other number, it is added to their turn
       total and they continue to roll trying to get as close to 30 as
       possible.
       The first player to score 30 points wins. If a player goes OVER
       30 points, their bet is forfeit and they lose the game.
       **This game was adapted from a dice game by the name of Pig,
       some of the rules have been changed to make it quicker and not
       last for hours.**

       I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but they who are not
       afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my
       cypresses.

       --|Primum, non Nocere|--: Martin pondered that. "Let's give
       Tarsk a try to start. And I agree warming our hands up would be
       a good idea. Although a bit of cider might not be a bad idea
       toward that end," he said with a smile. "Although we probably
       don't want to risk the greased wineskin stand. The way my luck
       has been so far I will throw my back out and have to be propped
       up for the ceremony tomorrow."

       ...Longbow Hunter... : She laughed at his words, shaking her
       head. “Oh, you couldn’t get me to stand on that wineskin stand.
       I’m not about to cover myself in bruises from falling off the
       thing right before our companioning ceremony.” She was more than
       happy to head inside, and once they did she tugged off her
       gloves, rubbing her hands briskly together to chase away the
       lingering chill. Her blue-grey eyes followed the other players
       with focused interest, narrowing slightly as she studied the
       flow of the game and the way the dice moved across the table.
       “So we just roll until our score reaches thirty,” she mused
       aloud, “without going over… with six-sided dice. And it looks
       like we roll two each turn.” Finding a vacant stool, she settled
       onto it, already absorbed, watching and learning before her own
       turn began.

       --|Primum, non Nocere|--: He nodded as he removed his own
       gloves. He had never been much for gambling. He rarely had coin
       enough to indulge in any vice, and had little taste for such
       games in any case beyond having picked up Kassia while running
       messages to a pair of scribes in his old steading.
       He took the stool across from her and picked up a pair of the
       dice. "Simple enough, it seems. I'll go ahead and go first."

       ...Longbow Hunter... : "Twenty-three so far... do I hold here or
       risk one more roll..." She mused softly as she scooped the dice
       back into the palm of her hand. She nibbled at her lower lip and
       looked to Martin. And then with a shaky breath, she rolled them
       around and sent them bouncing over the surface table again,
       squeezing her eyes shut hoping for a lower roll.

       proclaims. "The only way I can hit thirty now is if I roll two
       ones." She slides the dice back across the table towards Martin
       with a grin.

       --|Primum, non Nocere|--: Martin nodded as he took the dice and
       sighed. Double ones. He might as well quit now. Still, he put
       down his own silver tarsk bit and a second one to raise the
       stakes. "Sure. Rub it in a little more," he said with as smirk
       before letting the bones roll.
