One more hand

It is four more hands. Of course it is.

Somewhere in there you stop noticing that nobody at this table is from the same anywhere. That is the thing about a game with almost no rules: it is not really about the cards, the cards are just the excuse to be sat down together long enough for the excuse to stop being necessary.

When you finally stand up, there is a spare deck on the table that nobody claims, and everybody looks at you like it is obvious.
