That'd be neat. I recently added a "Games" subcategory to the wiki, which 
is what prompted the original observation.

This is game Tazendra and Aerich are playing when they first meet 
Khaavren, yes? I could write it up, if you're not going to have time.

Some of the games (for example, Seven-Clawed Jhereg) have obvious 
parallels, others have such brief mentions that it's tough to tell.

The closest approxmiations I've been able to make are:

Seven-Clawed-Jhereg = Texas Hold 'em
Shereba = Poker? Bridge?
Orbs = Hearts?
Bones = Clubs? Spades?
Sandball = Rugby? Soccer? Handball? Baseball?
Three-Penny-Mud = Seems to be a variant of craps, or some other dice-game. 
But Dragaerans don't seem to use dice at all.
