Walkthrough - Cairo - Cafe | Cairo Chronicles of Mystery: ToL Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Talk to the owner, standing in the street in front of his cafe. After a conversation regarding the collector Sylvie is searching for, go to the square with the well to inform the antique dealer about what you managed to achieve with the scarf. Return to the street and go to the cafe. After another conversation with the owner, go to the room behind the curtain (in the front).

You will meet a messenger from the collector there. However before the woman will tell you anything, she will offer a game of dice. You have to win in order to talk with her about what Sylvie wants to. In the game, you have to achieve a score as close to 50 as possible. Press "New game". Once the woman throws her dice, go out of the zoom (pointer in the lower part of the screen) and choose all 5 dices on your side of the table (the dices which will be thrown are marked lighter) and then press "Throw". Wait for the end of the woman's turn (after which go out of the zoom) and make your move (notice that all the dices are selected already).

During the first two throws you can throw all 5 dices at the same time and do so until you reach a score of about 30, after which lower the number of dices thrown by 1 (unselect one of them before throwing). Remove another one once you reach 35 and leave just two once near 40 points (after 45 - one). Of course everyone can have their own system - basically you need to look out not to throw more than 50. The dices can be nasty and you can get 12 points with 2 dices when you need it the least and get 2 and 3 points when you want to throw the as much as possible.

Of course you can pass when you have a higher score than Fatima, hoping that the woman will throw too much. Generally it's easier to win when the rival gets a higher score than you than by pushing up your own score (however it is possible). Even when you have 50 points, the game can end with a draw. Naturally when you reach a score of 48 - 50, just pass and hope for the enemy to throw too much.

After the conversation with Fatima, go to the main part of the cafe (cursor on the lower part of the screen). You will have to pay for the coffee, but it seems Sylvie has no money with her. Return to the room behind the curtain to ask Fatima to pay, but the woman won't be there anymore. Return to the owner and Sylvie will come up with a brilliant idea repaying the sum with work. Take the broom on the right and go behind the curtain. Clean up the garbage in front of the table.

Afterwards take a look at the floor there (zoom) and pick up the golden coin lying there (and automatically two paper pieces - whichever you click as the first, you will get all the "junk" at once).

Now approach the small table in the right corner (zoom). Take the cookies from the plate. Take the two sandwiches as well (with normal and sweet leaves). Pour out the leaves from each one to papers sheets in the inventory. Return to the cafe and after a short conversation with the other, go to the hotel.
