The Red Dragon Inn: Gambling I'm In! is a game about the games that the heroes play when they gamble at the Red Dragon Inn. Now, players of The Red Dragon Inn, The Red Dragon Inn 2, The Red Dragon Inn 3, and The Red Dragon Inn 4
can play out an actual round of gambling when they play the "Gambling?
I'm In!" card! Even better, the gambling games also can be played on
their own as standalone games, or as part of your RPG, or LARP. The game
will come with a 93 card Rogues and Warriors Deck, a bunch of 6 sided
dice, coin tokens, debt and loan tokens and rules for at least 7 games!
Some of the games use dice. Some of the games use cards from the Rogues
and Warriors Deck, and some of the games use dice and cards.
This card deck was developed as a stand-alone game as well as a
possible replacement to the gambling component in Red Dragon Inn 1 and
2.
The deck consists of 90 cards. The deck is broken down into three
colors (rust, green, and blue) with 6 different symbols. The card faces
feature 1 Knight, 2 Ladys, 3 Bards, 4 Merchants, and 5 Rogues per card
symbol. There is a die symbol on each card with a number of pips equal
to the number of cards of its type and a set of symbols on the right
that denote character superiority in certain game variations. Some games
with this deck involve 6 D6 dice (not included).
There are five base games included and are as follows:
- Rogues and Warriors - Similar to two card poker, each player is
dealt two cards. You compare these two cards to the symbols on the
right to determine how powerful your hand is.
- Threes - Uses all dice, no cards.
- Jack of All Trades - Uses 5 dice and only the Rogue and Warrior
cards. The theme is putting your workers to work and using the cards
and dice to complete jobs.
- Den of Thieves - No dice. Hands are dealt and players use the
special abilities of each character to influence hand weight and
scoring.
- The Wheel (and The Clock) - No dice. Players try to guess what
cards others are collecting in order to gain points and win the round.
When combined with The Red Dragon games, when a player plays the
"Gambling, I'm in!" card, the player may decide to choose any game from
the list to play instead of the normal gambling rules. Special rules are
included for each variation when combining this with the normal game.
