But how does one play this game? I am afraid I cannot bet if I do not understand the rules in their entirety.
[Leonardo was drawn to the curious display, a gambling the likes of which he had not seen before. Though he wears the clothes of a man from these parts, he does not look at all like he belongs - no weapons of any sort, nothing but kindness and curiosity shining in his eyes, and the accent to his speech being from somewhere far distant. This man is very clearly Not From Around Here.
He pulls up a chair beside Wedge, and a little behind him so that he has plenty of room. After the incident with the blaster, most of the locals seem to be more interested in hanging around the other players, rather than the dealer, so it is an easy enough task.]
I understand that your goal is, in effect, to reach the number 23, or... or negative 23, is that correct? But positive numbers trump their negatives?
