Manco's Faro!

A full, playable western card game inside Minecraft. Bet coins, watch the dealer, and try to catch him cheating.
  • Classic Faro. Bet on any rank from 2 to King, and the dealer turns over two cards each round: a Loser and a Winner.
  • Real stakes. Your Faro Coins are your bank, and your inventory is your wallet. You can win a pile or lose the lot.
  • Copper your bets. Mark a bet “coppered” to flip the odds
  • Doublets. Two cards of the same rank in one turn trigger a doublet, and the house takes half.
  • The last turn. Play the whole 52-card shoe down to the final turn.
  • Case keeper. Four beads under each rank show how many of that rank are still in the shoe, so you can count cards.
  • Full-screen table. The table is drawn in hand-made pixel art with Aseprite cards, plaques and buttons.
  • Animations. Cards slide, flip and burn, chips stack, and the winner plaque lights up.

Cheat, or Catch the Cheat

  • Peek. Sneak a look at the next card, but you might get caught.
  • Accuse the dealer. If you think he’s rigging the deal, call him out. Get it right and you’re rewarded. Get it wrong and you pay for it.
  • The dealer’s tells. A crooked dealer gives himself away with tells, though a clever one will bluff.

Faro Dealers and Table Limits

  • A new villager profession. The Faro Dealer uses the Faro Table as his job site.
  • Dealer levels set the rules. His trade level sets the table limit: Novice 25, Apprentice 50, Journeyman 100, Expert 150, Master 250 per rank.
  • Better dealers cheat more. Higher levels cheat more often, hide their tells better, and are more likely to catch you peeking.
  • House rules. With no dealer nearby, the table runs at a limit of 25.

Multiplayer

  • Shared tables. Every Faro Table block is one table with one shoe, so everyone sees the same cards.
  • See the other players. Their names and rank marks appear on the board.
  • Fair turns. Anyone with chips down can deal, and a short cooldown lets everyone’s animations finish.
  • Server-authoritative. All game logic runs on the server, so clients can’t cheat.
  • Automatic stand-up. You’re seated out if you walk away, die or change dimension.
  • A live table block. While a game is running, a deck sits on the table and the last Loser and Winner cards lie face up on top.

Cosmetics

  • 5 card backs: Azure, Emerald, Midnight, Gold and Violet.
  • 4 table felts: Blue, Burgundy, Black and Purple.
  • Per-player settings. Click the shoe card to change your back and the corner ornament to change your felt. Your choices are saved.
  • Two ways to unlock them:
    • Earn them through advancements.
    • Buy them from the Wandering Trader, who carries 2–3 random cosmetics per visit.

Sound and Controls

  • Custom sound effects. Chips, shuffles, dealing, card burns, wins, losses, doublets, peeks, tells and more, all with subtitles.
  • Keyboard play.
    • 2–9, 0, J, Q, K: bet on that rank (0 is ten).
    • Shift: take chips back.
    • Ctrl/Alt: copper a bet.
    • Space: change chip.
    • Enter: deal.
    • Backspace: clear bets.
