Cardsharp

Cardsharp is a blackjack game where you wager your fingers as well as your cash. One hand lies flat on the table, and its five fingers are your health. When you lose, the dealer takes a finger; when you win, you receive cash.

Items and sabotage

You can buy items and use them on other players:

• Zippo Lighter: burn a card an opponent was saving.
• Cursed Ring: put it on another player's finger. When that finger is lost, someone else bleeds with them.
• Romeo's Ring and Juliette's Ring: two rings connect two people to one shared fate.
• The Duck: a gift that cannot be sold or removed and permanently takes up one of the recipient's slots. You can squeak it.

Table rules

The game adds three mechanics to blackjack. Every third round, the Cage drops over the table with items to buy using your winnings. The Pit is a row of face-up cards in the middle of the table; on your turn, you can take one, but so can everyone else. The Sleeve lets you keep a card for later, unless someone burns it first.
