Chass, the game in question is Tablero da Gucci, which is an SCA
adaptation of a period game called Tablero de Jesus.  The original was
a gambling game that used coins as playing pieces and the adaptation,
which originated with the da Guccis in An Tir, is a drinking game with
shot glasses as playing pieces.  In a sense it's still a gambling
game, since (ideally, anyway) each player provides their own stock of
beer (or whatever liquid they've agreed to play with) and the object
is to make your opponent run out before you do.

Baron Steffano da Gucci wrote the rule book, which is available online
at http://cosmicbabe.net/steffano.html

I can teach the game, as can Gunnar and a number of other members of
Gunnarsstead, a couple of Cambers I know, and a number of others I've
either directly or indirectly corrup... er, I mean, enlivened with the
knowledge of this marvelous pastime since Gwen the Fair (from Terra
Pomeria in An Tir, who was taught by Steffano himself) came to Lilies
War a few years ago to teach several of us the finer points of the
game.  :D  Dear Gwen even set up a Tablero forum at Yahoo groups --
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tableroaddictsofantir/ -- which isn't
very active but is a good place to ask experienced players any
questions.  Also in the photo section there you can find pictures of
mine, Gunnar's, and Kajira's boards, as well as pics from a couple
tourneys we've had and pics of a lot of really nice boards other
people have made.
