Can you have something similar to poker in a TL 1 setting

What exactly do you mean by 'something like poker'? PK says 'no' because he defines vying as the defining thing. I would have said 'yes,' because I would accept games with a suitable mixture of luck and skill (so you can have professional gamblers) as sufficiently poker-like for world building purposes.
A lot of people in this thread seem to be concentrating on the medium (cards), which means tiles for TL1.
