Previously I Posted about a game that characters in D&D could play in world called Spottle. I have developed a bit of an interest in what types of games the characters could play in their world. What games would they have? And so, as I run across games in the modules I play with my players, I would like to document them here, for people to use either in their real life, or for their characters in their D&D or other TTRPG games.

Today I am going to explain a game they players ran across while playing one of the adventures in the “Feast of Legends” set. For those not in the know, Feast of Legends is a 5E inspired game created by Fast Food Giant Wendy’s. It is fun and hilarious to play.

Anyways, the games they have in their adventure include Pig racing, Strength tests ala Giant mallet on the ground to shoot a rock up the meter to ring a bell, (Your typical festival games), and Going Four for Four

Going Four For Four

The game is described as being similar to Texas Hold’em with d4 dice.

The idea is at the beginning you Ante in, like Poker, and then roll a d4 behind a screen. (How they prevent people from cheating is not explained, and my player did with his sleight of hand skill.)

Then you look at your dice, and either bluff or fold. You can either ante in the same amount as the highest bid from the last round or raise. (In which everyone must match to stay in the game), then you roll a second dice, and keep it hidden behind your screen.

This is repeated for a total of four rounds, and then everyone reveals their “Hand“, and scored this way: (Best to worst)

• 4,4,4,4 (Four for Four)
• 3,3,3,3 (Four Threes)
• 2,2,2,2 (Four Twos)
• 1,1,1,1 (Four ones)
• After this, you just add the total of your four dice, and compare the total to the rest of the players’ totals.

Really simple. and possible to play in a short time during games. or while waiting for someone to arrive to the game.

For reference I am including the original Text from the module below

GOING FOUR FOR FOUR
In the streets of the residential area, there is a table set up for a quick dice game. The man running the game comes across as a little shady, but very welcoming — a little game of chance to try your luck.
The game is played by going four for four — the full 16 is the best set of rolls you can get, and an automatic winner. This is played similarly to Texas Hold ’em poker. There are four rounds — during each round, a player will roll a d4, keeping the numbers secret until the last hand. Getting all threes is the second-highest hand. All twos is the third biggest, and all ones the fourth biggest. If no one swept their rolls, the person with the highest sum total wins the pot.
Any number of players can join, and the GM always plays as well. The GM can choose their method of play — whether they want to call bluffs or fold is up to them. It costs 1 gold coin to enter the game.

ROUND 1: Every player will roll a d4 and keep the results hidden.
ROUND 2: Now it’s time for a second round of wagers. How high was your roll? Are you confident it was more than the other players’ rolls? Roll a second d4. Keep this result hidden as well. Follow this with the next round of wagers.
ROUND 3: Roll a third d4, hiding the results again, followed by wagers.
ROUND 4: Roll the fourth d4, followed by the last round of wagers.

Players can also just keep track of their rolls, but this requires you to trust your players. Of course, if a player is caught cheating, it could lead to other forms of brawling and excitement, so do with that what you will.

Edit: Please comment with any other Games that you have seen characters play within your games. I am curious to hear and would love to add them to my games.
