Hosted Roulette
The centre of gravity. Roulette is the table guests drift towards first, because it asks nothing of them: place a symbolic chip on a colour or a number, watch the wheel, cheer. One spin is a complete education.
Our hosts run the wheel like compères — announcing rounds, narrating near-misses, pulling passers-by into the next spin. At larger receptions the roulette table doubles as the room's meeting point: the place people agree to find each other.
Chips carry point values, tallied on the leaderboard at the evening's close. Nothing is at risk except your standing against the accounts department.
