PAI GOW!!!

Uh-oh, LiAps wants to go a-gambling. Sounds good to me, but only if we expand our gambling horizons a bit further.

Remember how I convinced y'all to jam the Pai Gow Poker last time? Remember what a big hit it was? Well, Andrew has tasked me with taking it one... step... beyond. That's right...

Pai gow tiles.

That's right, I said it. Pai gow tiles, bitches. Take all the slow-roasted gambling goodness of pai gow poker, but add the mystique and pure bad-assedness of knowing how to play the tiles, thus allowing us to reach heights of coolness previously known only to Asians. (Pup need not apply, as he has already reached the maximum level of Asianness.)

I'll try to construct a layman's field guide on how to play. It... um... may take a while. Really I just wanted to prepare all our readers for their transcendence into Asian levels of awesomeness. In the meantime, the Wizard of Odds can fill in the blanks, as usual.

Finally, James sees the awesomeness that is Asian Gambling.

I don't know if I can play the tiles though. Too high of an expectation for me to know what I'm doing.

Is Vegas the only place with tiles or does AC have it too?

AC apparently does have it, in abundance.

GEE JOON!!!

Oh yeah - the Asians LOVE AC. Sure nobody wants to go Sunday??

Pup may be as Asian as he can be, but is he as cool as he can be? Or is he just already so Asian that additional Asiantude won't nudge him up in coolosity?

More words have been made up in this section than anywhere else before (even in sections where I am writing). I dont think I could play tiles, since A) I like playing with the cards B) Unless I get a makeover a la James Bond in You Only Live Twice, I am not sure I could have enough "Asianess" in me to carry it through.
