Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by kosmonavtka: [B]I saw that card game mentioned in a couple of space novels - it's called "Possum's Fargo", whatever that is! From "Titan" by Stephen Baxter: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]There were more rituals, as they headed out of the building towards the bus that would take them to the pad. There was a card game called Possum's Fargo that they had to play, for instance, with a couple of the techs. Rosenberg couldn't believe his eyes. Here they were, the five of them, like huge insects in their glaring orange pressure suits, standing around a table to play what seemed like, to him, a kid's version of poker. But - rigid tradition had it - they couldn't leave, until the commander, Angel in this case, had lost a hand. It took six hands.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
