Gioco da tavolo. Come lo rendereste? Grazie mille

And you were worried a cat wouldn’t **pull its weight in rent**? See cats of all shapes and sizes play craps, roll big craps and even watch other cats crap out. Someone had to keep Vegas in business during lockdown

Discussion

to play craps ... Las Vegas... lockdown Nel titolo e nell'immagine del puzzle c'è riferimento al gioco d'azzardo (to play craps), ribadito da Vegas (Las Vegas), sinonimo della parola casinò negli Stati Uniti. La pandemia Covid (lockdown) aveva spento le luci di Las Vegas e dei suoi casinò.

Potrebbe essere necessaria una traduzione creativa, ma il senso secondo me è che i gatti possono guadagnare giocando d'azzardo e contribuire al bilancio famigliare.

E dubitavi forse del fatto / E non avresti mai immaginato
che un gatto (non) si sarebbe scatenato, impegnato, sfidato (accanitamente, appassionatamente) per vincere nel gioco d'azzardo?
