Arts and Entertainment help the last known survivors of the Twelve Colonies to rest, relax, and try to forget the fact that their race was nearly wiped out and they are still being pursued by robots intent on their destruction.
Music and Dance
The Colonials appear to have an appreciation for singing. The Tucana singers on Carillon perform for the Colonial patrons, and Starbuck judges their talent to be exceptional (and potentially very lucrative) (Saga of a Star World).
Games
Games of chance are popular. The most common amongst the pilots is Pyramid, a card game. At the chancery on Carillon there appear to be a variety of games, with the odds stacked heavily in favor of the patrons in order to get them to stay for dinner.
Sports
Triad is a popular spectator sport. The game is usually watched not only by a live audience, but Inter-Fleet Broadcasting also broadcasts the games to the rest of the Fleet.
