Each policeman holds up a green stone before sitting. A sergeant makes eye contact with you, nods, and holds up two. A bell is struck three times, to ensure non-players remain alert while their colleagues' focus is elsewhere. The game begins.

Still, while the police play, they gossip. Even leave their notepads out. You leave the table in profit, of sorts.Description summary:

 Airs of the Evenlode | First Paragraph |
|---|---|
| 1 - 13 | Is it cheating when it is built into the rules of the game? The badge on a player's shoulder determines how many underhand manoeuvres they are allowed […] So – are you allowed to cheat 'none', or 'all'? |
| 15 - 29 | The dealer absentmindedly stubs out their cigar on the table, burning through a pair of sevens. They are replaced from a fresh pack with an eight and a six. No one even raises an eyebrow. |
| 30 - 44 | For the next hour, the cards are passed anti-clockwise. At seventeen minutes past the hour, the direction changes. Why? "Ask the Evenlode." Useful. |
| 45 - 59 | You are greeted with shark-like smiles and a glass of cheap whisky. Your stake is very welcome. The rules? Oh, you’ll pick them up fast enough. |
| 61 - 74 | All change! A fifth queen means the entire table must drink a pint of water before progressing. "Respecting her Highness, see? Can't be drunk on duty." Still – no one seems pleased about this rule. |
| 76 - 89 | The game is seemingly endless. Players can cash in or out when they choose, and officers have dedicated substitutes for when they are called away. […] It would be unwise to lose the stake of someone possessing influence over promotions. |
| 91 - 100 | The game is as much one of memory as it is about reading your opponents. The third six played, temporarily changes the rules to Whist. […] the rules shift towards poker. Someone exceedingly bored or equally inebriated must have invented this |
