After work yesterday, I went over to Keith's for a little bit. Talked about Serenity and Wicked (which they went and saw last Sunday) and then we played a new WotC game he had. It's a betting cardgame (though you have only minimal control over the betting). The clever trick is that you win by having the highest-value cards showing, but all the cards also have special abilities that trigger only if your card is lower than the previous card played. I think clever strategy probably involves alternately winning and losing hands intentionally. It was fun; I lost quickly.
