Illustrations

Drawn for this guide

All 9 pictures on Loot Brook were drawn as vector art for this site: flat shapes, halftone dots, the same four inks as the tournament clock. None shows The Fort Card Room's building, staff, members or logo. House rule 38 bans photos inside, and the building on the first-visit page is a generic roadside one.

A nine-handed table, the way The Fort spreads its games.
Columns of twenty, as house rule 51 recommends.
Tournament night: the clock decides when the blinds go up.
Membership, seat time and the drive: the costs before your first hand.
A frontage road off I-20 at dusk. Not the club's building.
Phone in the cup holder, never on the felt (house rules 25–26).
A Texas county courthouse at dusk. No particular county.
Tonight's limit goes in the envelope; the rest stays home.
After the game is done.
