This set up was elaborate, and in the end it all wouldn't even matter. Whoever won would end up getting into a brawl. To Aya, it seemed pretty pointless, but telling either of them that would be fruitless.

Not one to gamble, he simply stood to the side, watching. The game is unfamiliar to him, especially with that chess board involved. What the hell was that for? And where did Sho get such valuable items like that?

[urnotafraid]

Of course there will be fighting. It's what bosses do when they think they are being cheated or stiffed or they just want to show someone who is the boss. Sho finds it utterly amusing that they brought out this game of all games. Did the aliens think he had never played this kind of poker before? If he was a different sort of man, he would have been insulted

[Even Aya can see that Sho isn't winning. Chess isn't that hard, but maybe Sho is just terrible at it. And poker.]

[The other boss looked rather smug. Or so Aya believes. With all those nostrils, it's distracting to really tell.]

[Why would he move that pawn? Sho should have let Aya play.]

Well yes, it does look like that was true, but this was a game designed to work on five dimensions. The game mediator shuffled the pieces around and then switched the pawn over to the queen. Even with that piece, he was outnumbered, a fact that the alien boss pointed out with a curl of it's upper lips and a raspy kind of coughing laugh.

All Sho did was blow a smoke ring while the alien traded out two more cards. The game mediator then placed the deck down face-up on the pile of loot, signaling the end of the round. Sho glanced over at Aya before facing the alien boss again.
