Games

Blackjack/21

The Code: All ye playin’ will be bettin. After ye place ye bets, the player to the dealern left be dealt 2 cards face up. The dealer be gettin’ 2 cards, but only 1 be facing up. Te win the game ye must get close to or exactly 21 while still beatin yer dealer. If ye get 21, yer paid double yer bet.

“Dealer stands on all 17s This be the most common rule. In this case, yer dealer must continue to take cards (“hit”) til his total is 17 or greater. Aces in a dealer’s hand be always counted as 11 if possible without the dealer being over 21.

Spanish Monte

The Code: Tis game be simple. Tis played by laying out 4 cards like this

O O Top
—
O O Bottom

O = Card

— = dividing line

Scallyways be choosin a side to bet on. They be bettin on the next suite ta will be coming up. Say ye top has a 3 of spades and 4 of hearts, and a player places a bet there, they be betting that either a spade or heart will be coming up next. Once bets are placed ye flip the next card and give out winning bets as needed.

Liars Dice

The Code: This game be tougher to play. Ye place yer bets. After bets are placed, each takes their cup and in goes five dice, gives it a good shaking, then slams it down on the table with ye cup over ye dice. They looks at their dice. This game be played on a bidding system. The object be to fool yer fellow pirates in to either going over the number of dice of their bid or guessing on or under the number of dice. Bids can be handled in 3 types.

Type 1: Number of Dice. A player may call 2 ones, then another can raise the bid by saying 3 ones or 4 ones.

Type 2: Face value. So a person could say 2 ones, and to bid up from that is 2 twos.

Type 3: Face Value and Number of Dice. A person may call 2 ones. Going up in this fashion would be 3 twos.

Ye canat bid down in any sense. A person calls 4 twos they can’t be callin 5 ones. That be going down in the face value but going up in number of dice.

Ye can call Liar on another person. But if they are wrong (the bidder calls 7 fives and a person calls liar, and their 7 or more fives on the board) they lose and the bidder wins the pot. If they are right (the bidder calls 7 fives and theirs are less than 7) they win the pot. And it keeps moving like that.

Ye dealer can set a bid ta will always be the bid.
