[He says, with the air of someone who thinks very little of, for example, doing probability calculations in his head. Viktor cuts the deck, then flips over a card, facing Thancred, setting the rest of the pile alongside it.]
All you have to do is guess if you think the next one will be higher or lower. We keep going until you get it wrong, then you become the dealer. Does that make sense?
[Again, hardly a game, more of a way to avoid small talk than anything else. Viktor is already eyeing the pin that Thancred wears, signifying his allegiance (such as it is) to Thorne. That in itself is already more interesting than the card game, but he will do his best not to be overtly nosy, at least not right away.]
