It is common place to see philosophers standing in town squares reading off their prose and poetry to anybody who will stop and listen. Acting troupes often tour the major Valerian cities (and on rare occasions, space ports) to perform plays and dance routines in grand halls. These visits are usually always accompanied by huge banquets to welcome them. | |||

The favored game on Valerian V is a rather complicated card game similar in nature to Terran Rummy. The aim of the game is to collect either a run of 7 cards or a set of 3 cards and four cards. Unlike the suits used in Terran card games, the Valerians use 'sets' representing various facets of their culture, history and society. There are 3 sets for each of the 3 categories with each set containing 25 cards. Valerians call this came Tatpanka (Tat[pan]ca) although Terrans call it Valerian Rummy. Games have been known to last upwards of 4 hours. | |||
