In the Common language, it reads:

! Welcome to Tiles of Chance, the one and only home of The Chance Box! |
oo
| The chance box is a portable gambling game. And the game is simple. Tap the discs |
| on the other side to set them spinning for a chance to win silvers based on the |
| symbols they reveal. |
| |
| Most symbols represent a specific town. The three smaller discs contain landmarks, |
| mascots, and wildcard symbols. The larger disc is a bonus and contains celebrities.|
| |
| At least two symbols must match to win. A mixed match occurs when symbols do not |
| match but represent the same town. Payouts are increased by matching to the town |
| being played in. |
| |
| A House Bank must be established by the owner, and bets cannot exceed one-fourth of |
| its holdings. The minimum bet is 100 silvers. |

>touch box
You reach out and touch a mosaic-edged lacewood box on a low round table.

>l box
Surrounded by incredibly tiny blue and white ceramic tiles along the edges, the face of the roughly tambourine-sized and shaped box is fashioned from thin panels of brightly lacquered lacewood. Cobalt blue runes connect three small round holes that form a triangle with a larger hole in the center. Each circular space houses a whalebone disc that can easily spin on a steel axle. One smooth edge of the box is painted sky blue and houses a coin slot.

The three smaller discs appear blank, as does the larger disc in the center.


>analyze box
You analyze your lacewood box and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Chance Box is a portable gambling game for silvers. To play, put the box on the floor to establish ownership and deposit silvers into the "House Bank," which can hold between 400 and 2 billion silvers. Others may then bet and spin the discs for a chance to win. While on the floor, the box will remain safe for about 15 minutes after gaming ends. Only the owner may pick it up, and doing so clears ownership. The House Bank must be empty first. READ the box for gameplay and payout information.
