Depths
One card, one pot, and the question is whether anyone at the table knows something you don't.
4 – 6 Players Major Arcana Chips
The Round

One card is drawn from the shuffled deck and placed face-down in the center. This is the depth.

Going clockwise, each player takes one action:

Wade Put one chip in the pot. You learn nothing.
Dive Put three chips in the pot and secretly look at the card. Say nothing. Turn it back over.
Surface Flip the card. The round ends immediately.
Fold Walk away. You lose whatever you've already put in.
A player may dive only once per hand. The dealer may not dive, surface, or fold.

Play circles until someone surfaces or everyone folds.

The Reveal
VIII – XXI All remaining players split the pot evenly. The house pays the difference to round up.
I – VII House takes the pot. Everyone still in loses.
0 The Fool. The last player who dove takes the entire pot alone. If nobody dove, house takes it.

The whole game lives in what happens after someone dives. A player pays triple to look, then stays or folds — and the table watches. Information is the most valuable currency in the room. The person who paid to know more takes everything.
