Gorean Games, Fun, and Sports

Cups

"I have the cups and a pebble, by some stroke of luck, in my wallet," said Boots.
"Two," said the fellow. This game, like many such games, of various types, involves guessing. Small, inverted metal cups are used. A coin, pebble, or small object is supposedly placed beneath one of the cups. They are then moved about, rapidly. The odds are with the "house," so to speak, particularly if the coin or pebble is not placed under one of the cups. I was already familiar with Boots's skill in slight-of-hand manipulations from Port Kar. "Two," repeated the man. Boots then paid him. The slaver's man, of course, was well pleased with the sale. It was a good price, and it was a particularly good one for a slow market.  I had no difficulty in recovering my ten copper tarsks, put down to hold the girl for Boots's later inspection.
