Under construction
Various type of games usually played in Felarya. Many of them are native to this world and pretty much found only there.
The House of Keng
One of the most popular card game in Felarya. it's based on bettings and money and a deck of varied cards such as "the spy", "the thug", "the merchant", "the town crier", "the predator" etc. The goal is to capture the head card of your opponent. It's a captivating game that greatly reward bluff, audacity and risk taking. It's starting to take hold in some others worlds as well.
Hell Chess
A variation of the chess game, popular among rich circles in Negav. In this version, all the pieces - each player supplying his own - are made of precious metals, with the “king” piece being often incrusted of small Ascarlin fragments. Players may keep after the game, the pieces that they capture or checkmate, thus introducing the exterior force of greed into the game, that seasoned players exploit in their opponent. Like its name implies, this variation of chess comes from Hell, where Succubi such as Menyssan are fond of playing with damned souls as pieces.
Frost Gate
Another game coming from Hell, Frost Gate off is often played among Frost succubi. It's an extremely complicated and challenging game, with very twisted rules that keep changing in the course of the game. Just grasping the basics would literally take months of hard work, browsing ancient, rare and thick books describing its aspects, and becoming a decent player is even harder. Obviously, very few people play Frost Gate, and those who do are essentially in the "elite", such as Negav nobles and aristocrats, boasting that they can play such a sophisticated and rare game. However, the large majority of them are very mediocre players at best, the goal being not to actually play Frost gate, but showing that you can play it. For their part, Frost succubi are very fond of it, and proposing a Frost Gate session if you encounter one can be a good way to gain, at least, a temporary reprieve from her stomach....
