Passage is a dice game for three or more players. One player (the "caster") rolls three dice while he and the other players wager on the result. Each player takes a turn being the banker, and controls the flow of coin from their own stores.
The rules are simple: the caster wagers whatever they like and then rolls three dice. Other players at the table do the same, setting their own sums of coin on the caster's rolls.
If the caster rolls less than 10 on the three dice (an "out"), everyone loses their wager to the banker. If the caster rolls more than 10, the banker must pay out an amount equal to everyone's wager from his own purse.
If the caster rolls ten exactly, nobody wins or loses.
After each roll, the caster and the other players can reset the wagers they have on the table. So, if the caster wagers 3 gold on the first roll and wins, for a total of six, they can then take some away and only bet, say, 2 on the next roll.
Once the caster has rolled three outs, their turn as caster is over and the dice move to the player to their left. The banker is always the player to the current caster's right. So once a caster's turn is done, they become the banker for the next turn.
A round consists of as many turns as there are players. Only once every player on the table has had a turn may a player leave the table. Those who choose to stay may start a new round. If a player leaves before the round ends, they forfeit all winnings. If a player, in their turn as banker, cannot pay out other players' wagers when required, they forfeit all remaining coin and must leave the table.
