The game here is a combination of luck and psychological strategy. On Earth, this game is called Blackjack, but here, it's about getting 27 points, which presumably holds some special significance in this world.
The rules of Blackjack are simple. Players start with three playing cards and can calculate the sum of the three cards. If one card is a face card, it's counted as 10. If the total of the three cards is less than 21, players can decide whether to draw another card, often resulting in getting closer to 21 or exactly 21.
Of course, there's also the risk of exceeding 21, in which case the hand is bust.
