Tongo

If poker embodies the quintessential human game, tongo constitutes the Ferengi equivalent. Tongo represents a stylized model of an economic marketplace, where each player works to accumulate profit, limit risk, and increase his holdings. It is played with two decks of cards (one circular, one square) and a tongo wheel, which sports compartments to hold the players' bets; the outcomes of spins of the wheel represent the random factors of the marketplace. Tongo is an extremely complex game involving skill, strategy, the ability to bluff, and a small amount of luck. Most of the best tongo players are Ferengi, but the game has become popular with many other species.
