Cards are portable, quiet, pack flat, are harder to loose that chessmen or similar gaming pieces and allow a huge set of games. I’d not expect a mining culture to be big on sports that require much space, but I’d certainly expect cards. Plus if you get lost and the walls of the tunnel are to hard to scratch an arrow on you’ve got 52 pasteboard breadcrumbs you can use to make sure you can find your way back and don’t end up going in circles.
Honestly, I’m not sure that would be that much of a problem on the kind of expedition Digger is expecting at this point. Then again, it’s indicative of a general lack of sensibility, and knowing what problems await the pair, Murai was a definite better choice.
not housebroken. hehehe
“not playing with a full deck”… I guess wombats have card games, then?
Any society with a highly developed bureaucracy will also have card games. It’s a sociological rule.
(Or at least it should be … )

Clearly the simple one is a dog.

@Zamael: FTW!!
I love the way Digger refers to religious belief as “your faith thing.”
