The dice tumbled across the board, coming up fish, ship, and moon.
The game that is played in this chapter is a version of the Vietnamese game bầu cua tôm cá, “gourd, crab, shrimp, fish,” which is played during Tet. I played this game and won some decent cash for an 80s kid, by which I mean, I won like three bucks in shiny new quarters. Good times. I considered just using the game I knew, but I thought that court ladies would want something they saw as more elegant and artistic, and so Moon, Lady, Ship was born.
