Games of Chance in Golarion


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion

Liberty's Edge

Hello All-

I have a quick odd question. I think this isn't the correct forum, I apologize.

As far as gambling goes in Golarion, is there a specific game(s) that are played? I'm folding some gambling into my game and was curious, flavor wise, if there was anything that was a hit in the taverns.

Thanks in advance!

There are a number of Golarion specific games of chance detailed in Pathfinder #13—Second Darkness Chapter 1: "Shadow in the Sky." Which you can get for five bucks as of this writing, looks like.

Thanks Christopher! Found and purchased! I really appreciate it.


I know this is a bit late for your question, but I'm looking for names of games as well, especially games which children of Golarion (especially the inner sea) might play. I saw one, I think from Raging Swan games, which would be played in a bar, called something like "The Thief and the Dragon", but I'm really trying to find games which children might play.

I was thinking "Settlers of Cheliax" might be one, "Gorumopoly", "battle of the hexes", or "Shoki on the Shore". But, can't really find anything. Maybe just have to be clever. Does anyone else have ideas?


There are some pub games detailed in the "Inner Sea Taversn" campaign setting

A selection of rules for bar fighting and pub games rounds out this invaluable tome.

Oh, and you have to check out Joe Pasini's pub games! The man loves games, so he crafted a range of amusements that range from strategic (the dice game runelords) to disgusting (the drinking game bootbeer).

You might be able to reskin some of those games for children

"Andoran, Spirit of Liberty" has a game/sport called Prismati, which the Andorens learned from the fey of the Verduran Forest.
