Two bored guards distracted by gambling

1) Where and when: anywhere and any time that there are guards on duty but not being supervised by officers.

2) Limitations: The two guards are on their own, there are no other guards nearby.

3) Trigger: The player is close enough to see/hear what the guards are doing.

4) Description: Two guards are having a game of cards or dice or whatever, and they are laying bigger and bigger bets on it. Eventually the bet gets so large that they decide to just go ahead and see who has won. The winner celebrates, the loser claims the other guard cheated, and they end up having a long argument.

5) Notes: If the player interrupts the guards before the actual dice throw or card lay, the guards stop the gambling and concentrate on capturing/attacking the player. However, if the player is clever and waits for the moment where the guards are throwing the dice or laying down the cards, then the player can sneak past them undetected because the guards are concentrating so hard on the dice/cards. If the player waits until the argument, there's a 50/50 chance the guards will notice the player.

Maria: That's a very good point!

If the hero in disguise were to need money, that might be one way he would be able to obtain it for later use in the game. Win it from the guards.

Something like that, Matti, indeed. Something like that... ;)

Great idea!

One game as in "one game to rule them all..."? :D

What can I say... I loved the mini-puzzles in 'Atlantis. Gosh... why do I always end up referring to that ONE game? ;)

Angela, what a good idea... that would be a nice mini-game. :)

Or, a hero in disguise could be invited to play along! And by playing, he could win things to be used to solve some puzzle... e.g. some item for some engineer that would only let him lean his repair-kit if he brought him a new *insert item name here* etc... ;)

This sounds very good! :)
