Strata
A card game of the gambling type in which one or more participants play against a dealer, who controls the game. The game is very popular among lower-class players due to its relatively low skill level, simple rules, and cheap buy-in.

Rules

 * Players roll 2d6. If they add to a 7 or 12, the player wins. Gamblers can double the bet to add 1d6 to the total.

Duke's Gambit
An Imperial card game that is based upon the military strategy employed by the famed Duke of Alexandria. It requires a penchant for deception and strategy which, when combined with its steep buy-in and high cost for the card set, makes it less favorable among the working-class.

Rules

 * Each card player rolls 1d8, keeping the die hidden. Each player has the chance to raise the bet, call the bet (meet it), or fold. It continues when all bets are equal.
 * Then each player rolls a 1d6, keeping it secret as well. A final chance to raise, call, or fold. Each remaining player rolls 1d4. They all reveal the 1d8, 1d6, and 1d4, adding them all together. Highest total wins.
 * Winner takes 80% of the pot (the other 20% goes to the casino). Ties split the 80%.

Portholes
A simple dice game preferred by freebooters or starfarers that often find themselves bored on long voyages.

Rules

 * Everyone rolls two d10s and your score is the higher number you rolled. If you get doubles, you get to add your numbers together. Rolling two 0s is called Portholes, and that's the highest roll. If there is a draw, the tied players get a single die each to break the tie.
 * Winner gets whatever the pot was, then everyone antes in again.
