Playing Cards

A standard deck of 52 playing cards, often used for games of chance, strategy, and entertainment. They can also be used for sleight of hand tricks or as a prop in various performances.

Proficiency with a gaming kit applies to one type of game, such as Three-Dragon Ante or games of chance that use dice.

Components. A gaming kit has all the pieces needed to play a specific game or type of game, such as a complete deck of cards or a board and tokens.

History. Your mastery of a game includes knowledge of its history, as well as of important events it was connected to or prominent historical figures involved with it.

Insight. Playing games with someone is a good way to gain understanding of their personality, granting you a better ability to discern their lies from their truths and read their mood.

Sleight of Hand. Sleight of Hand is a useful skill for cheating at a game, as it allows you to swap pieces, palm cards, or alter a die roll. Alternatively, engrossing a target in a game by manipulating the components with dexterous movements is a great distraction for a pickpocketing attempt.
