Anyone that knows Tyson knows that he is a mathematician.He doesn’t even have to try to card count, it comes naturally to him and he knows the laws of probability for each game.This means you should absolutely never play cards against him, unless you want to lose all your money / clothing.Do not play him at Poker, or Gin, or Rummy, BlackJack, or any other card game that involves / can involve stakes.Snap is fine though, snap is safe.
Tyson is a fan of Trading Card Games/Collectable Card Games. He’ll infrequently play Hearthstone on his tablet to pass time, and Tyson will dabble in any new ones that appear in the digital store.
Tyson plays the Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon, and Magic of the Gathering card games with his nephew. James’ interest waxes and wanes for which card game he wants to play, but he usually leans more towards Yu-Gi-Oh.
Though he doesn’t personally believe they have any power, Tyson knows how to read tarot cards and has done so for several cons over the years. At times, to earn quick coins and at other times as a distraction for other members of the web to complete their part of the job.
In his Pokémon AU, Tyson makes sure to grab a trading card for every Pokémon that he has on his team. It’s part of his OCD within that universe, a compulsion he has to complete to avoid whatever catastrophic event he believes will happen otherwise. To that end, he keeps decks with every Pokémon at various safe houses so that he can easily swap out which cards are stashed away in the back of his Pokédex.
