Day 149/365 - bau cua.

the vietnamese lucky game!

 

its late i have to watch Top Chef for my second part of my module test. I'll come by later and explain my day and what the game bau cua really consist of.

 

okay!

the game bau cua is a lucky gambling game. LOL most vietnamese kids and adults enjoy this game because it brings the whole family around and there is no limit to how many can play, the more the merrier! what you do is those three dice go in a bowl and plate and get shaken up, the players make their bets. when the dealer lifts up the bowl whatever character is shown gets paid whatever amount they bet. so if i bet a dollar on chicken and a dollar on deer, and the dice rolled out two chickens one fish, i would get two dollars for the dollar chicken bet, but lose the dollar i bet on the deer.

 

there are 5 animals and 1 "bau", I have no idea what its called in english but its that thing in the middle of my picture. the animals are deer, bau, chicken, shrimp, crab, and fish.

 

its a super easy game and lots of fun. i always love being dealer because i make the most $$$ XD

 

oh and we play it mostly during Tet, which is the vietnamese lunar new year.
