Occasionally, a runner would return from the bank to summon one of the players would have to leave the game immediately or suffer a ?sudden death? or Mort Subite
La Becasse
Taborastraat / Rue Tabora ,11 - 1000 Brussels
Small bar with a tiled corridor entrance that looks like a delft toilet. Last door opens into a small brown bar due to the extensive panelling in the room. Faro beer is served in delft jugs ...
