Games While You Wait

While the world writes your next turn, there's now something better to do than watch it think. Four small games sit under the story while a turn loads: go fishing, play Liar's Dice or Knucklebones against the tavern regulars, or match relics. Each game is saved as you play, so the next wait picks up where you left off.

Fishing

• Tap the water to cast. Watch the float, ignore the nibbles, and tap when it goes under.
• Hold to reel, let go when it runs. Keep reeling while the fish pulls and the line snaps. Leave it slack too long and it shakes the hook.
• Twelve catches to find, from silver dace and mud carp to a sunken locket and Old Whiskers, the catfish older than the dock. Some only bite at dawn, at dusk or after dark, going by your own clock.
• The logbook keeps every catch and your heaviest of each. What you haven't caught yet shows as a silhouette, with a hint.

Liar's Dice

• You and two regulars each have dice under a cup. Bid on how many of a number are on the whole table, ones are wild, and every bid has to go higher.
• Think someone is lying? Call Liar! and every cup lifts. Whoever was wrong loses a die. The last cup with dice wins.
• The regulars play differently. Brother Oswy is careful, Mags Tarrow bluffs loudly, and Old Hakkon counts every die.

Knucklebones

• Roll a die and place it in one of your three lanes. Matching dice multiply: two 4s score 16, three score 36.
• Every die you place knocks the same number out of your opponent's lane across from it. Fill all nine places and the higher total wins.

Relic Pairs

• The one game kept from before. Turn tiles two at a time and find the six pairs. Your fewest turns to clear a vault is kept as your best.

Good to know

• Don't know a game? Tap the ? in the panel and it explains the game you have open, step by step.
• Rather just read? The arrow on the right folds the panel away, and it stays folded until you open it again.
• Your games, logbook and wins against each regular are saved on the device you play on.
