''Cyvasse'' is a craze among the [[House Martell]] court at [[Sunspear]]. Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon]] learns the game from her [[betrothed]], Prince [[Trystane Martell]], when she comes to live with the Martells in [[Dorne]].{{Ref|aFfC|13}} She takes to the game quickly, and wins more often that Trystane, though he does not seem to mind.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} Ser [[Arys Oakheart]] finds the game maddening.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} When riding through the desert with Princess [[Arianne Martell]], Myrcella comments that Trystane always places his squares the same way.{{Ref|AFFC|21}} 

When Arianne is imprisoned in a chamber in the [[Spear Tower]] for her failed attempt at kidnapping Myrcella, she finds that her father [[Doran Martell]], the [[Prince of Dorne]], has had a ''cyvasse'' table placed there. She ignores it, but he later tells her it was there to teach her to study a game before she attempts to play it. When Arianne is summoned to her father's rooms at the end of her imprisonment, she finds him sitting across a ''cyvasse'' table, studying the pieces. He hands her an onyx dragon piece as he explains the [[secret marriage pact]] between [[House Martell]] and [[House Targaryen]].{{ref|AFFC|40}}

In [[King's Landing]], Queen [[Margaery Tyrell]] and her cousins are studying the game when Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]] brings the news that Ser [[Loras Tyrell]] has [[siege of Dragonstone|taken Dragonstone]] but received severe injuries in the process.{{Ref|AFFC|36}}

''Cyvasse'' is played during [[Tyrion Lannister]]'s voyage on the ''[[Shy Maid]]'' with [[Haldon]]{{Ref|ADWD|14}} and [[Young Griff]], and he learns the game.{{Ref|ADWD|22}} While playing against Haldon, Tyrion places a bet, and wins the game, thereby learning from Haldon the true identity of Young Griff. In the game against Young Griff, Tyrion tells the boy to go to [[Westeros]], instead of seeking the hand of Queen [[Daenerys Targaryen]]. Later on, when he is separated from Young Griff's group, Tyrion learns that Young Griff actually listened.{{Ref|ADWD|27}} Tyrion, under Haldon's direction, plays against the custom officer [[Qavo Nogarys]] in [[Volantis]], in order to gain information from him.{{Ref|ADWD|22}}

On board the ''[[Selaesori Qhoran]]'', Tyrion attempts to teach [[Penny]] how to play ''cyvasse'', though he soon realizes it is a lost cause.{{Ref|ADWD|33}} When Tyrion is captured by [[slaver]]s and displayed for sale in the slave market outside [[Meereen]], he boasts about his ''cyvasse'' skills as a selling point.{{Ref|ADWD|47}} After Tyrion is bought by the [[Yunkai|Yunkish]] [[Wise Master]] [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]], he plays a game of ''cyvasse'' against a man who had originally wanted to buy him (and remembered his claims), and later against [[Ben Plumm]].{{Ref|ADWD|47}}

===''The Winds of Winter''===
{{Warning/twow}}
In the camp of the [[Second Sons]] outside [[Meereen]], Tyrion plays numerous ''cyvasse'' games in [[Brown Ben Plumm]]'s tent. As the [[second siege of Meereen]] commences, a [[Yunkai|Yunkish]] nobleman enters Brown Ben's tent during a meeting. When he recognizes Tyrion, he demands that the dwarf be surrendered for punishment as an escaped slave. [[Jorah Mormont]] opens the Yunkish nobleman's throat with his longsword. The man takes two wobbly steps, falls across the ''cyvasse'' board, scatters the wooden armies everywhere, and dies on the carpet. The white dragon piece ends up at Tyrion's feet. He scoops it off the carpet and wipes it on his sleeve, but some of the man's blood has collected in the fine grooves of the carving, so the pale wood appears to be veined with red.{{ref|twow||[[Tyrion II (The Winds of Winter)|Tyrion II]]}}

Arianne Martell, on her way to [[Jon Connington]]'s army in the [[Stormlands]], loses in games of ''cyvasse'' against Ser [[Daemon Sand]] and Ser [[Garibald Shells]].{{ref|twow||[[Arianne I (The Winds of Winter)|Arianne]]}}
