Gaming Skill

The Gaming Skill covers a range of games usually played for a wager, including cards, dice and other games that combine chance, skill and strategy, including many kinds of sport (though this would also require athletic ability). The skill is used to cover the fundamentals of gambling strategy and a simple understanding of how any such games might be played and won, but specialities involving the rules and nuances of specific games or types of game are exceptionally common for the character's game or games of choice.
