Chess!

But as an added bonus, the playing pieces and the board are determined by the progression, theme and race architecture of the respective node of the tavern you're playing inside.

For example; if you're inside a tavern in a military-orc metropolis then the pieces are made from iron and resemble orc warriors clad in armor brandishing weapons and board is painted on a broken shield!

But if you're in, say, a humble elven town, the pieces are craved from wood and just closely resemble modest elven hunters and mages with the board being just a simple cloth mat.

I would love to see a few different types of games like those listed below (Darts, Cards, Dice etc). It would also be good to make sure a tavern cant have every single type of game. i think it would be awesome for tavern owners to build the required table/activity but have maybe 2 slots limited to games for each tavern to encourage people to travel to different taverns to play different games. Agree that a qwent type card game with cards being obtained and tradable through normal play would be awesome.

An Ashes-Themed Gwent game would be amazing. For anyone who doesn't know what Gwent is, I feel sorry for you that you never played The Witcher 3.

Be nice, but that would be a lot of extra work for the team. Maybe as an expansion idea down the line.

For now I think we might have to be limited to cards.

Hnefatafl would be a cool addition, basically viking chess.

I want to see traditional parlour games like:

Skittles

Poker was a game invented in the 19th century. The broader game should be what brings people to Ashes, not the fact that you can player poker.

I like poker, but I don't want it in Ashes. I just don't think it fits.

When we are advocating for Poker... The cards don't have to be like the ones found in a traditional deck of playing cards... they can be stylized in a way that represents the AoC universe... The game can still play like traditional poker but does not have to be called "Poker" per se in AoC.

I stated don’t call it holdem charge the cards make it fir the AOC vibe but the game could function the same ... and would be fun a lot of fun ... if you didn’t want to play but they added it ... you wouldn’t have to play

I just think it would be an immersion buster for me. The idea of tavern games gave me images of traditional pub games. Something different than we see today.

I once went on a field trip to SW Wales and spent the evening in the village pub. They had an old table top skittles game. It was interesting to see that.

If some sort of poker game makes it in it is true I don't have to play. I just don't see the point.

Idk if anyone already had this idea but i think It would be cool to have Tarot readings in Tavern, so you can offer reading to someone or get a reading from someone else. Reading could give negative or positive temporary effect to player depending on cards they draw. Cards could have Rider-Waite template with Ashes of Creation art, it would be awesome!

sure hope CMs or Devs are noting the responses to this post! Some amazing ideas!!

Small arena that has automatic battles taking place between random monsters that we can bet on. I think they had this in a dragon quest game but I honestly can't remember. It was pretty fun but may be hard to organize to prevent cheesing.

I just had a TERRIBLE idea.......what if you could capture various animals from around the world (they would have to be smallish and you would have to experiment to discover if they could be trainable or not) and you trained them up to be pit against others (kinda like Pokemon). They could also double as a vanity pet outside of the arena but would do nothing else so you couldn't have them as an attack pet.

Those two ideas combined sound like fun to be honest.

I agree, else I wouldn't have suggested it BUT I know that Pokemon gets a really bad rep so I hated using it as an example.

I would be one of the first to go out into the wilderness hunting for prospective fighting pets!

Then you could even have pet cosmetics!

I would like to see systems to make bets on mini-games such as dices, darts, roulette, some simple card games (maybe add more complex ones like Poker later) and some fantasy rock-paper-scissors.

Oh God, I will spend more time in Ashes' Taverns than in real life bars.

Would be cool if gambling were integrated into the pub games and for the richer folks, or "high rollers" there could be areas where only the best can complete in cards or other games making wagers. Anyone can watch but only the wealthiest can buy into the table.
