Okay, we know that there is a deck of cards in Eberron, and that they are elementally suited instead of the normal hearts, spades, etc that we have. And, Keith mentioned that he'd try making up some rules for some of the games he's mentioned, so I thought we'd try and give him a hand with some ideas for game rules :D Cards: Elementally themed, there's a tavern/casino named for one, the King of Fire. How about a card game that combines poker with a paper-rock-scissors style of gameplay? To where the best hand would be something like "King of Fire, Queen of Earth, Prince of Water, Knight of Air". So that the idea is that one element beats another, and is in turn beaten by one of the others, and you want to have a higher value card beating a lower valued card of the element it's strong against. To use the paper-rock-scissors-poker analogy, it would be like an Ace of Paper beating a King of Rock, beating a Queen of Scissors. The relative value of each hand would be based on how much of the circle you can complete, and the values of each individual card.
