In a stakes game, like poker, have you ever bet time instead of money?

I’ve actually played poker for coupons. But have you ever played for time? Like betting a half hour instead of a dollar amount?

It’s really interesting. I’ve collected babysitting hours and once had to spend an hour wedding my neighbor’s garden. Other interesting scenarios have also come up, but I won’t discuss those.

Would you consider it?

For example, poker is a game that you bluff (you say you have something in your hand when you really do not.) in order to win.

I was wondering if there are other games out there (cards, board, word or video games.) that lying or persuading people into doing something is used as the main and accepted means to win the game?
or dice or whatever.
