Join a group of people watching a cage fight.

You stroll over to a crowd of guests standing around a not exactly impressive cage, where two man are facing each other with their fists raised. They are both still wearing their fine trousers, but have gotten rid of their shirts and suit coats in order to have more freedom to fight. It's quite clear that both are no fighting experts, and this is just a little game. Apparently about money.

There's a black man serving apparently as announcer, referee and game master, who advertises the fight between "John, in the reeeeeed corner" and "Howard the hammer in the bluuuueee corner!" Then the two man are rushing towards each other, and, rather clumsily, entertaining the audience with a strange mixture of wrestling, fist fighting and kicking. After a few blows are traded, it's "Howard the hammer" who yields. The black guy declares "Joooooooohn" the winner of the fight, and hands him some coins.

He then points to a blackboard where names and fights have been scribbled on. It seems that the prize money varies and is also determined by the game master depending on the two people fighting each other, a bit like betting odds. Some pairings are already fixed, but there are a few names which have no opponent yet, so you could put yourself on the board and also have the choice to decide who you want to fight. Rules are rather simple and straight forward: You fight until one person yields, and the rules forbid any attack on sensitive areas like the face or the groin. This is still, after all, an elegant party, and all of you are honored guests.
