how did this asylum become where i sleep
"I've never played poker," Alys said thoughtfully. "But crazy eights isn't too bad to learn. I used to play with my family, years ago." Back before she'd been 'cursed' with magic and subsequently disowned. "Here, let me just get the deck and shuffle -" And she did just that, drawing a standard pack of playing cards from her pocket. The cards were shiny and new, and as she began to shuffle, she marveled at how difficult they were to work with in comparison to her tarot decks, which were well-loved and shuffled like butter in her hands.
"Did you have any thoughts on what to focus on this season?" she asked as she worked, frowning at the deck as a few cards jumped free. "It seems like, with peace in Caido, we might could focus on something other than soldiers. I think last season you'd mentioned trading some shavings for bottled lightning for Colt's fences? Is that still on the agenda?"
With her shuffling finished, she set the cards aside. "So, the goal with crazy eights is to be the first to get rid of all your cards," she explained. "You get five cards to start, and lay one down each turn that matches either suit or number. If you can't play, you draw until you can. Eights are wild cards and can be played any time, and can represent whatever suit you choose." Dealing out five cards to each of them, then turned over the starter card: a three of spades. "You can go first, since I dealt."
