Thick, luxurious furs decorate the floor of the low ceilinged and amply lighted tent to create a plush carpeting of mottled brown, beige, and cream hues. Triangle frames housing a variety of simple images decorate the walls, their edges painted with filigree in bronze and copper, while a low round table at the heart of the space is filled with a variety of wares. You also see a small wooden sign.

!       Welcome to Tiles of Chance, the one and only home of The Chance Box!          |
o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o
| 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.                                      |
