card cheating - tamakona - 09-11-2025
the ability to attempt to cheat while playing cards. for instance, when shuffling, a prompt will allow the player to choose if they want to end up with any number of certain cards at the top. the risk of failure scales with the amount of cards, and failure results in anything between an emote/message announcing to everyone that you've flubbed up and that your cheat is visible, or dropping and scattering the cards altogether.
certain jobs like bartender and clown, and perhaps a trait, could increase or decrease your chances of success.
