The game itself has 3 pub games. One is a card game, one is a dice game and the other revolves around spinners. All 3 games rely on solely an amount of luck and there is no skill involved whatsoever. They are also pretty basic so you will be spending your time only pressing the A button to draw the next cards, spin the dice or spin the spinners.

Unless you want to rack up lots of gold ready for when you play Fable II there is no reason at all to buy this game, especially at 800 points. I will not be buying it, part of the fun of playing RPG games is getting enough gold through the game to buy your upgraded weapons or whatever. Why on earth would I want to go into the game being able to afford everything? Of course there is a negative to gambling early, if you rack up a huge debt then this will not reflect very well on your starting character.

Gamble wisely.
