One of many card games.

If there are any card players out there amongst you – perhaps you can let me know what they are playing. The guy with the hat and finger on the side of his nose watched intently. Whilst I was there sometimes it was one finger, then it was two… Just my imagination, but I like to think that these were perhaps secret signals designed to direct the game’s progress.
