Gambit of Ord

Gambit of Ord is a popular card game originating from Marquet, and is played across Exandria.

Description
Players place their bets and are dealt a card. After two rounds of raising the bet and being dealt additional cards, players reveal their cards. The player with the highest total wins the pot.

Game Mechanics
Players roll a d8 and keep the results hidden. Players then choose to raise the bet, call the bet, or fold. This continues until all bets are even. They then roll a d6, also keeping it hidden, and have another round to raise, call, or fold. The remaining players roll a d4. They then reveal the rolls and add them together. Whoever has the highest result wins.
