Ten-Finger Tony

Poker against the house, in the basement of a meat plant, for your fingers.

Welcome to the meat factory

You wake up strapped to a chair at a card table in the back of a meat plant. Your hands are locked into it, with a guillotine over every finger, and there's a glass case sunk into the middle of the felt.

Across from you sits a corpse with an old television where its head used to be. The set warms up, and it's Tony, the gamemaster.

IT'S POKER. KIND OF.

Four cards each. You both turn one face up, and that card goes in both hands: your four plus his one, his four plus your one. Best five-card hand wins. You get two rounds of discards, and he sees how many you threw.

Then one bet. Check it down and the loser gives a finger. Push and it's worth two, unless they fold, which costs one and nobody shows anything.

THE LINE

Your five cards sit in a row, in any order you like. At the showdown they're counted left to right, and the cards that make your hand pay cash. Your charms go off as it counts. Order matters.

THE CHOPPING BLOCK

When you owe, you pick which finger(s) go.

THE CASE

Every finger you take pays a bottle cap. Between hands the case comes up out of the table with items and charms for sale. Tony shops too, and he has his own preferences.

IT HURTS

For a while after a finger, the cards lie to you. Reality hurts. Stare at it long enough and it gets better, for a bit.

TEN FINGERS EACH

Lose your tenth and that's you. Take Tony's tenth and [TONY DOESN'T LOSE]. Then somebody new wakes up in the chair.

THE POT

$10,000 to start, $100,000 every time a finger comes off, either side, plus whatever the winning lines count. Beat your oppressor and walk away with life-changing money.
