Not really. We had games that were more similar to chess, with pieces that you'd move across a board. My father was adamant about me being more productive with my free time, however, so my days were filled with training or working in the Administrative Chamber.
[ look he promised to keep that a secret but this is private ]
Surely you have more important things to do than paperwork. Though I suppose holding a high rank doesn't automatically exclude you from clerical duties...sometimes, it's the opposite.
Technically, I didn't, really. I was never meant to be born, you see. Children of mortal blood do not survive in the Underworld; I was stillborn when my mother had me. Although Nyx had the Fates restore my life, they didn't exactly know what to do with me. And so Father had Achilles tutor me, had me work in the Administrative Chamber. Things to keep me from whiling away, as he would put it.
That's quite the [ origin story?? ] entrance into this world. There must have been somethingq quite special about you if this Nyx saw fit to bring you back to life
I'm not sure. Perhaps you're right in that she had seen something within me, something worth going to the Fates for. Though, I think it's more likely the fact that she may have felt sympathy for my mother. Nyx, after all, is a mother to many herself.

I find Rummy quite fun, and it also comes in many variations depending on the region.
Administrative Chamber? [ that sounds boring as hell ] Don't tell me you spent your days doing paperwork?

So like a matching game, of sorts?
That sounds fairly easy to get into.
Well, yes. That's exactly what I did.
There's no shortage of paperwork down there, given the amount of mortals that come through.
