The Hand of Fate Hints
How can I win the shell game in front of the tavern?
1 of 12: First of all, you need something to gamble with. The creature will only accept gold, so don't try anything else.
2 of 12: Well, maybe you should try offering something non-gold to catch his response. He will provide a valuable clue.
3 of 12: A fight should break out inside the tavern. Go in and see what happens.
4 of 12: You're going to need to help the patron on the right.
5 of 12: Click on him several times, and eventually the one on the left will lose his gold tooth. That's what you need.
6 of 12: But he will recognize his tooth if you try to take it.
7 of 12: He wouldn't recognize a lead tooth, though.
8 of 12: Use the alchemist's magnet (from the garden) on the tooth once to take it, and turn it back into gold again.
9 of 12: Then you can gamble with the teeth. But it doesn't look like you're lucky enough to win this game.
10 of 12: Remember the creature said you're allowed to use lucky charms.
11 of 12: You'll have to place them on the ground near the game for them to work.
12 of 12: Put a horseshoe from the farmer's cellar on the ground and play twice. That's all he'll let you play.
