Gambling games with cards

The Red Dragon Inn: Gambling? I’m In! includes the rules for nine different gambling games inspired by the world of The Red Dragon Inn, plus the specialized Rogues and Warriors Deck required to play them.
The games in Gambling? I’m In! can be played on their own. They can also be combined with The Red Dragon Inn to replace the usual Rounds of Gambling with actual gambling games!
The Rogues and Warriors Deck
- The Rogues and Warriors Deck contains 90 cards, which are divided into 6 sets of 15 cards each.
- Each set contains 1 Warrior, 2 Ladies, 3 Bards, 4 Merchants, and 5 Rogues. So, when drawing, you only have a 1-in-15 chance of drawing a Warrior, but a 5-in-15 (or 1-in-3) chance of drawing a Rogue!
- Each set of 15 cards has an animal “suit” associated with it: Hawk, Wolf, Owl, Horse, Wren or Hare.
