My book is about a girl who is a compulsive gambler, and I'm trying to write a scene where she is playing a board game with an old dude who also has a gambling problem (eventually, she wins). My dilemma, though, is that this is literally the climax of the story and I don't know how to make this scene interesting. How do you make a board game or a card game, such as chess, monopoly, blackjack, or whatever interesting?
