Fraunces Posted January 23, 2020 ~Parrots whispering~ "What do you mean bluff? Your Sea Rat master didn't bluff once all this time!" "Listen Popsy, I do love your visits to the Rock, but this Carnovian captain you are travelling with does not know the first thing about poker. He already lost his first all-in and keeps playing risky. You will not be making a single doubloon this trade run that I can tell you!" "At least we are heading for adventure after we have taken these chips and loaded the guns tomorrow! We are going to fight off the Lotii!" "Pff .. better to be profiting of wars than joining 'em. Look at the Mardierians! They have lost half an empire fighting useless wars." "Talk about useless: your master just went all-in on a 7 - 2 !" Just a small build showing off my poker table. It is placed in "Lothario's poker lounge" in the Sereen Cay, the Rock, zone 31. Traders, buccaneers and imperial captains of all nations come here to spend some of their ill-gotten doubloons or soldiers-salaries. Current players on this table are Lothario Fraunces, facing off a Carnovian captain on his last stop off to war, other players include a Corrington Lieutenant, an Eslandolan trader, a Mardierian conquistador and a Black-Flag Sea Rat captain.

Professor Thaum Posted January 23, 2020 I love this one ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted January 23, 2020 Excellent build, Fraunces - the green center of the table is great, and the rest of the furnishings are quite nice, as well as the figs! That and I love the way you've presented it from the parrots' perspective! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted January 23, 2020 Beautiful table. I love how well the camera focused on that shiny chrome gold coin! The whole scene looks nice and the grouping of minifigs looks really good. And the parrots' conversation is a perfect way to write it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted January 23, 2020 I love this concept, and so well executed. The first shot of the parrots with the background out of focus is wonderful. Excellent build, story, and photography all around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted January 24, 2020 Talking parrots. That's a fine example of nice interior scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent build, story, and photography all around. Thanks , glad you liked it. The idea came to me while I was "bored building" with the new blue parrot and the pokercards piece, and before I knew it, I had a poker lounge in the works On 1/24/2020 at 1:23 AM, Bodi said: Talking parrots.

Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 23, 2020 I am a bit late to praise this but I like the scene a lot. Great idea to have the parrots whispering to each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bregir Posted February 24, 2020 The "parrot perspective" used here in both pictures and storytelling is excellent, and in general, it is a really nice build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gratewap Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Jeez This is the first time I've seen something like this. This is very cool, as a poker player I would also like to have a Lego like this. You just inspired me to buy something like this, or build it from different parts of Lego. I've always been interested in this, but now I see different posts on this forum, and I understand why it attracts me so much. Maybe I'm a collector who just doesn't have the courage to collect it. And now I realize that I can not only play poker https://holdemtour.com , but also to collect Lego. I would like to put something like Star Wars and poker together, I think it will be fun Thanks for the post btw Edited March 29, 2021 by Gratewap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yes! go ahead and buy some LEGO's. I play poker as well, which gave me the inspiration for this creation. Feel free to stick around on the Brethren of the Brick Seas forum where many cool ideas put into LEGO come by. Joining is easy, once you have a sigfig (mine is a pirate poker player ) you can build whatever you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
