For now, you would like to play a game of sabacc? Ok, lesse" He reaches inside his jacket, pulling out a blank deck of cards. Cursing quietly he slams them on the table. The card's surface flickers, turning to static. Cursing again, he slams them harder on the table. They immediately come into focus, with images like a regular deck of cards. "Damn things, never shoulda bought'em used. Ok, the primary thing to this game is speed. You never want to keep a hand for too long, because the card faces change every so often. To begin with..." He shuffles and deals the cards, all the while explaining the game. Jonny Steele, Cyber-Gunslinger extraordinair
