You play the hand you're dealt

 A poker game late one night in 1942.


  You get one deal.  Nothing's wild. You can't fold.  You have to bet everything you have.  The dealer is God.  Or maybe Satan.  Whoever it is, he watches with cold, unsmiling eyes and when -- not if -- you lose, he casts you into the outer darkness forever and ever.
