Nothing so fancy. {qeylIS mInDu'} is one of those simple bar-type games
played
with dice (just one IIRC) and a d'k tahg in the ST:Klingon CD. After someone
wins, the two stand up, thump foreheads, then both laugh. Are the rules ever
explained in the CD, or is it just a bit of background "realism"? The game
propbably isn't too complicated else people couldn't play it when drunk.
I've been calling it a bar game, though in KCD we only see it played aboard
the
BoP Tagana or in Pok's house, I forget which. I imagine you would commonly
see
it in Klingon bars to decide who pays the tab. I wouldn't be surprised to
find
that Klingon bars - like many Terran ones - keep dice around for their
customers to use. The more they play, the longer their customers stay and
keep
buying drinks.
